Defined Glare Can Actually Be a Good Thing
Kellie Koedel (Sales Representative at The MH Companies) and Paul Mitchell (Sales Manager at Sternberg Lighting) were published in the most recent issue of LD+A, a publication of IES. They offer insight into BUG ratings, including their thoughts on how glare isn't always a bad thing.
To suggest that all lumens emitted between
60 and 90 deg qualify as harsh light is
simply wrong.
While BUG ratings are a significant step forward from the old cutoff classifications, one area that warrants discussion for possible improvement is the method for defining and calculating glare.
The glare rating is currently derived by totaling all lumens emitted in the range of 60 to 90 deg above nadir. By identifying them as "glare," we are inherently saying that they are unwanted, which is simply not the case. Glare was originally relegated to lumens in the range of 80 to 90 deg. By tripling that range from 10 deg to a 30-deg window, important problems arise.
