As exam season looms and pencils get sharpened to anxiety-inducing points, schools are turning their attention to something often overlooked: lighting.
Not just any lighting—but the kind that boosts focus, reduces eye strain, and keeps students alert when it counts most.
🔍 The Specs That Make the Grade
According to UK and EU standards (BS EN 12464-1:2021), the recommended illuminance for exam settings is 500 lux.
Here’s what else schools should aim for:
ILLUMINANCE - 500 lux minimum for reading, writing and deep thinking
COLOUR TEMP - 4000–5000K to enhance alertness and concentration
GLARE CONTROL - UGR < 19 to prevent visual discomfort and distraction
UNIFORMITY - Even light distribution across desks—no shadows, no hotspots
FLICKER FREE - Prevents visual fatigue and keeps students locked in
