Light sources such as fluorescent lamps have very bright surfaces, however most luminaires are designed so that the lamp is rarely in the field of vision.’		'Disability glare can make work tasks difficult, and may occur when a source of bright light exists close to the line of sight.

The problem of glare can take two basic forms: discomfort glare and disability glare.'
