Proper vertical illumination is therefore required for monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>Where screens are present, care should be taken to avoid unwanted glare and reflection.<\/p>\n<p>Illuminance requirements vary with the presence of people. Remote-controlled facilities require less light than constantly manned workplaces.<\/p>\n<p>In areas where substances are mixed, grinded or pulverised, luminaires need to be dust-protected. Open containers need to be well illuminated.<\/p>\n<p>Some facilities may involve explosive substances, whereby explosion-protected luminaires are needed. Where dirt is prevalent, enclosed luminaires are needed.<\/p>\n<p>Such luminaires offer long-term protection and are resistant to dust, moisture, chemicals, mechanical stresses and extreme ambient temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>Linear luminaire systems are suited for ceiling heights up to 6m.<\/p>\n<p>Above 6m, high-bay luminaires with narrow or medium beam reflectors are a suitable alternative.
