Valotaso

Valotaso is a Finnish term that translates to "light level" or "illumination level." It is commonly used in contexts related to lighting design, measurement, and regulation, particularly in architecture, interior design, and workplace safety. The term refers to the quantity of light falling on a surface, typically measured in lux (lx). Different activities and environments require specific valotaso recommendations to ensure adequate visibility, comfort, and functionality. For example, reading areas generally require higher valotaso than corridors, while task-specific lighting might necessitate even higher levels. Standards and guidelines for valotaso are often established by national or international bodies to promote energy efficiency and human well-being. The proper control and application of valotaso are crucial for creating effective and comfortable visual environments.
