Abstract	Most would agree that a high-quality lighting installation provides good task visibility and contributes to the attractiveness of the space. In two experiments in a simulated office space, temporary office personnel worked under one of six lighting conditions for a day. Combined results from two statistical approaches show that people who perceived their office lighting as being of higher quality rated the space as more attractive, reported more pleasant mood, and showed greater well-being at the end of the day. Direct-indirect lighting and personal control were favoured. Lighting conditions that improved visibility also improved task performance.
