Light reflectance values
Cook, Geoff
Light reflectance values - 2005 - Access by Design (104) Autumn 2005, 13-16(4) .
Summarises research into Light Reflectance Values (LRV) of articles such as door furniture, in respect of "BS 8300: 2001 Design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled: code of practice", which uses very general terms regarding the identification of door furniture, such as handles, on doors. Details research methodology and conclusions. Results showed that in relation to a three-dimensional object, such as a lever handle, the LRV difference between it and its mounting surface is not as important as first thought. Lighting levels in general are a more important factor.
