• The Ergonomic Lighting at your workstation depends on the type of job you are involved in. Do use bright lights with a large lighted area while working with printed materials. Limit the brightness of light for computer tasks.
• The user should be able to adjust the position and angle of the light sources, as well as their intensity levels.
• To direct or diffuse the light, it should have a hood or filter.
• The base of the light should be large enough to allow a variety of convenient positions or extensions
• It is ideal to place lights parallel to your line of sight in different rows.
• Try to use light diffusers so that you can do the desk jobs like writing, reading papers etc. while limiting direct brightness on the computer screen.
• You need to have good desk lighting for proper illumination while writing and reading tasks thus limiting brightness around monitors.

• If you work at a computer, look for luminaries which distribute light in a way that is not creating glare or reflections on the screen, provide an even and flicker-free light distribution, are easy to adjust, and are stable.
• If you have a large work area, look for luminaries which will illuminate large work surfaces, provide an even and flicker-free light distribution, are easy to adjust, are stable and distribute the light in a way that is not creating glare or reflections
• If you work at a less spacious working area, look for luminaries which give smaller but still effective light output, are multi functional, are stable and distribute the light in a way that is not creating glare or reflections.
