I hope someone here can help me. I am an ergonomist who has not worked in
the field in several years. I work in an office where the light levels
strike me as too high, and I need to provide justification to get them
changed.

I wonder if anyone has the most current recommendations for ambient light
levels for VDT use (& citations).

Also, how should I measure the light level? Is a standard photography light
meter sufficient, or do I need a fancy photometer?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
