Making the right change....things to think about.

Safety

• Is emergency escape lighting required/provided?
• Have potential hazards been identified and properly lit?
• Could there be issues with fluorescent lighting and rotating
  machinery (the stroboscopic effect)?

Task requirements

• Have tasks been properly analysed and adequate lighting provided?
• Does the lighting scheme provide the right amount/direction of light to meet the task?
• Has the proper colour rendering requirement for the task been assessed/provided for?
• Have any potential problems with glare been considered and dealt with?

Lighting appearance

• Will the lighting installation be appropriate for the specific application and for the architecture of the building?
• Have you assessed the colour appearance of the light source (with reference to the specific situation/task)?

Energy efficiency

• Has the most appropriate and energy efficient equipment been used/specified?
• Have you considered how to use daylight to best effect?
• Have appropriate lighting controls been used/specified?
• Does the design properly and fully address energy efficiency?
