ILLUMINATION IN GROUP SHELTERS

Abstract

The effects of low levels of illumination on visual acuity and on performance of simple tasks were studied in an effort to evaluate group shelter illumination requirements. The purely objective determination of a minimum level was negative. The characteristics of various illumination sources are compared. Based on test results and evaluation of the illumination sources, designs and costs for standardized shelter lighting packages are presented.
