Lighting a task is very application specific – affected by shape, size, colour and reflectance, position and person. However, most flat tasks are best lit fairly uniformly from the side at a level some 50% – 100% above the ambient level. High CRI is often important and sometimes filters (polarisation) can help reduce veiling reflections.
