Illumination Levels
The requirements will vary depending upon the industry, but typical values are 200 - 300 lux in automated process areas, 300 - 500 lux where manual operations take place and 500 - 750 lux in inspection areas.
The CIBSE: SLL Lighting Guide 1 - Industrial Environment 2018 provides guidance for specific industries and processes, although many companies have their own engineering standards.
| Application | Minimum maintained mean illuminance (lux) | Illuminance uniformity (minimum/average) |
|---|---|---|
| Labelling and packing | 300 | 0.60 |
| Bottle filling | 500 | 0.60 |
