For Painting and Color Matching Facilities
For Painting and Color Matching Facilities These facilities have high lighting requirements due to the complex nature of the work being done there. But as in other places, the activities carried out in the spaces will determine the necessary candles. Painting facilities support 100-150 foot candles and lighting fixtures should be placed at a height of three feet. In areas where hand painting is done regularly and simple spraying, candles from 20 to 50 feet are enough. But in areas where painting and finishing are done by hand, it takes between 50 and 500 feet of candles, depending on the complexity of the tasks. These six questions can help you determine if there is enough lighting in an installation. 1. Can workers read documents and labels without getting tired? 2. Are the colors easy to identify? 3. Does the room have incoherent lighting? 4. Can machinery and other equipment be used safely in space? 5. Are workers affected by glare when performing different tasks?...
