This paper will compare current light sources with new research available for the Petrochemical Industry in the 1990`s. High lumen output, by today`s standards, is not necessarily the correct criterion for selection of light sources in process and work areas. This paper will demonstrate how the human eye reacts to various light sources both photopically (day vision) and scotopically (night vision). This comparison of light sources with the new research may change the thinking of users and designers in their selection of light sources.
