So would installing much brighter lights indoors help mitigate this? What does it take to illuminate a room at the suggested 10k lux?

- ethanmad 12y agoIt's a good question, but it seems unlikely to be feasible given that "a well-lit office or classroom is usually no more than 500 lux." I have a hard time believing that it's 20 times brighter outside than inside, but then again I have no issues seeing my phone's or laptop's screen indoors, while it's almost impossible outside (even in the shade) to see anything.
- mkesper 12y agoNo need to believe here, there are possibilites to measure that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux http://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Light-Intensity http://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Light-Intensity
- scotty79 12y agoHuman senses work on log scale so 10000 lux is not that much perceivably brighter than 500 lux.
