Lighting

Article Abstract:

A 1990 European Community Council Directive laid down new legislation to ensure employers provided their staff working on computer terminals with appropriate lighting that would minimise screen reflection. The laws will take effect with respect to new installations from Jan 1993 and Jan 1997 will be the date that everyone will need to meet the requirements. This could lead to a considerable increase in business for electrical contractors who will need to be careful that installed equipment meets the legislation. More work may also arise in the area of low voltage lighting following new intelligent transformers that can overcome previous problems with this safe form of illumination.
