We charge per appliance that we test. We do not charge extra for three phase equipment nor for powerboards. Our prices start from as low as $3.00 per appliance. Contact the friendly staff in our office for a quote.

How often do I need to test?

The testing interval depends on the environment in which the appliance is being used. The harsher the environment then the more likely the appliance is to be damaged, hence there is a requirement for a reduced time between testing.

Light (Lux) Level Metering

Light (LUX) Level Metering

Good lighting in workplaces is essential to enable people to see clearly and perform their work safely.

  • The key factors to consider when determining the adequacy of lighting are the:
  • Amount of light in an area
  • Number, type and position of the light sources; and tasks or activities performed, how often and for how long these are performed.

In general, good lighting should enable people to easily view their work and environment without the need to strain their eyes. However, different activities require different levels and qualities of light. The visual demands of the activity or task performed determine the lighting needs of an area. Activities that do not require a high level of visual acuity – for example, walking through a corridor – do not require high levels or an optimum quality of light. On the other hand, tasks such as drawing or checking a document for errors involve fine and detailed work requiring a moderate to high level of visual control, and so greater levels and a higher quality of light are required.

Poor light levels can be an Occupational Health and Safety concern causing problems for workers. Eyestrain, general vision problems and headaches can all be caused from poor or defective lighting.

This can result in employees having time of as well as increased workers compensation premiums.

ATTS are able to perform Light (Lux) level metering on your site taking multiple readings to give you an overall idea of the quality of the lighting systems at your site. Whilst inspecting the site, our technicians are also able to pin point any specific problems on site that may require attention to prevent any problems with your workers.

On completion of the metering service a full report including general lighting information, raw data from the metering service as well as any recommendations for improving your lighting system will be presented.
