Explanations

Unified Glare Rating

Unified Glare Rating or UGR is a number that values glare with the selected location of the current fixtures, which can then be compared in tables for the current business.

Luminance

Refers to the light from the luminous parts of the luminaire which is directed at the viewer's eye.

Background luminance

Is backround bright in the current case.

spatial angle

Is the angle at which the light of the fixture reaches the viewer's eye measured in steradians.

Guths positionsindex

A value for the location of the luminaire in relation to the deviation from the viewing angle.

Glare Rating

Is a number that values glare with the selected location of the current luminaires.

Illuminance

Refers to the light that hits the current surface from the current source.

Glare index 1

Glare adapted to the De Boer scale (1967).

Glare index 2

Dazzle with a later adjustment according to Bullough (2011) adapted to the De Boer scale.
