It is important to get sufficient brightness (lux level), however, many users pay less attention to the light uniformity. Whether it is for a stadium, an industrial area, a commercial parking lot, or a city road, we need to have proper light uniformity to improve users’ perception.
If the uniformity of indoor or outdoor lighting is very low, customers, workers, sportsmen, or citizens, may feel uncomfortable, thereby affecting their vision.
For indoor applications, good light uniformity helps improve the end user’s productivity and overall experience. In an environment like a shopping mall, uniform lighting without any gaps and shadows helps to improve eye comfort which encourages more sales. In the factory, high uniformity means high productivity, which also ensures the safety of workers.
For outdoor applications, uniformity is also an important factor, especially for improving safety and curbing crime. For urban roads, without uniform lighting from pole to pole, you are unable to see ahead for you to act in advance which finally leads to tragic consequences. In parking lots, uniform lighting makes end-users feel safe because they don’t need to worry about the dangers in the shadows.
