CONT – La meilleure
détermination des niveaux
d\'éclairements est celle qui
s\'appuie à la fois sur les deux
notions de performance visuelle
et de confort visuel. La
première est une grandeur
mesurable qui caractérise la
rapidité et la précision de
l\'exécution de la tâche visuelle;
la seconde vise plus
généralement le bien-être de
l\'individu. Source
