Workplace check	Record for calculation	Why it changes the lighting result	Related page
Task plane	Desk, bench, counter, floor route, shelf face or vertical display surface.	The same luminaire group can give a different result when the assessed plane changes.	Lux levels table
Work zone boundary	Open-plan desk bank, meeting room, packing bench, rack aisle, dispatch zone or circulation route.	Mixed zones hide under-lit tasks and over-lit circulation.	Office lighting guide
Maintained illuminance target	Target lux from the brief, task schedule or applicable standards pathway.	The lumen allowance changes directly with the maintained target.	Lux to lumens calculator
Uniformity and dark points	Likely low-light locations, racking shadows, partitions, shelving and ceiling obstructions.	Average lux can miss the point that occupants actually work under.	Room lighting calculator
Glare and screen view	Normal eye positions, screen angles, bright apertures, daylight direction and glossy surfaces.	Discomfort glare and reflected glare can make an otherwise bright space poor to work in.	UGR article
Vertical brightness	Faces, walls, signs, shelf faces, displays and labels that people need to read.	Horizontal workplane lux does not describe vertical visibility.	Workplace sector pages
Maintenance factor	Dirt, lumen depreciation, cleaning interval, access height and operating environment.	A lower MF raises the lumen allowance and can change the fitting count.	Maintenance factor table
Utilisation factor	Room reflectance, luminaire distribution, racking, partitions and ceiling height.	A lower UF means less emitted light reaches the assessed plane.	Utilisation factor table
Controls and daylight	Perimeter rows, after-hours mode, dimming range, daylight condition and occupancy pattern.	Installed capacity and operating behaviour are separate decisions.	Lighting control record table
Measured illuminance record	Meter height, grid or point locations, operating condition, date and maintained-light basis.	Measured evidence is stronger than a single average estimate when the result is close to a decision threshold.	Lux meter reading record table
Load density and schedule	Lighting power density, connected load, operating hours and control zoning.	A low W/m2 figure does not prove task visibility, and annual energy depends on the operating record.	Lighting power density table
