Can Uniquo identify the cause of poor lighting?
The uniformity ratio in lighting is a measure of how evenly light is distributed across a given area. It helps determine whether a space is consistently lit or if there are bright and dark spots that could affect visibility and safety.
It is calculated by comparing the minimum illumination level to the average illumination level in a defined area:
- Uniformity Ratio = Minimum Lux ÷ Average Lux
A higher uniformity ratio indicates more even lighting, while a lower ratio suggests uneven or patchy lighting conditions.
In the Indian industrial context, proper lighting uniformity is important in workplaces such as manufacturing units, warehouses, construction sites, and inspection areas, where uneven lighting can lead to errors, eye strain, and safety risks.
Good lighting design ensures that workers have consistent visibility across the entire work area, improving productivity and reducing accident risks
At Uniquo, we assess lighting uniformity as part of lux testing services across industries in India to help ensure safe, efficient, and well-lit working environments in compliance with applicable standards.
