UGR Light < 19: Visual Comfort Also Matters
When choosing lighting fixtures, there is a crucial parameters that is often overlooked, which directly affects people’s safety, efficiency and comfort – it is UGR in lighting.
What is UGR? Why is it so important?
In simple terms, UGR meaning in lighting refers to a technical parameters used to measure whether the lighting is “blinding”.
- The lower the UGR valueis, the softer the light will be and the more comfortable the visual environment will be.
- The higher the UGR value is, the more severe the glare becomes, which can easily cause eye fatigue, headaches, and even distraction.
Picture this: In a factory, a bright overhead light suddenly blinds a worker for a moment. Pretty scary, right? Especially when they’re handling delicate machines! In an office, lights bouncing off computer screens leave your eyes tired and sore by the end of the day. How are you supposed to get anything done like that? And in a classroom, glare makes it hard for students to concentrate, which hurts their learning.
That’s why keeping lighting UGR 19 or lower isn’t just a nice idea—it’s actually a must for comfortable, productive spaces. Most international and local standards say offices, classrooms, and factories should aim for a UGR below 19 or 22.
