Abstract
A study involving the use of a flexible desk luminaire indicated a preference for positioning the luminaire for high luminances and contrasts. Visual performance, however, was also dependant on the homogeneity of the luminous environment. Subjective reports were less sensitive to luminous conditions than to visual performance.
