An investigation has been made to see if assessments of glare discomfort in model-scale lighting installations are significantly different from assessments made in full-scale installations.
A further study has been made to see how far the general population differs in its assessments of glare discomfort from observers experienced in subjective judgments.
The results show that the experimental data and empirical formulae derived from model-scale studies on glare can be applied with confidence to the design of full-scale lighting installations, and that the glare conditions derived directly from these formulae will satisfy about 85 per cent. of the general population.
