In the U.K. the 'bible' for lighting issues is the CIBSE Lighting Guide LG3:
1996.

For VDT [VDU in the U.K.) work the guide says 'illuminance on the task
generally between 300 and 500 lux'.

I would have thought that a basic lux-level meter would give a good enough
indication that the level of lighting was in the right range, if the indication
was that things were not as they should be you might consider using more
sophisticated equipment.

Hope this helps.
