In mood-oriented rooms such as churches, music halls, theatres, galleries etc. as well as representational rooms such as hotels, common rooms, ballrooms etc., design aspects and comfort are particularly important. Chapter “Good lighting” and chapter “Lighting of public areas” provide information for this purpose. Where work is also performed in such rooms or partial areas thereof, e.g. in the pit of the theatre or at the ballroom admission control point, or where they are utilised for leisure activities with comparable visual requirements, the corresponding lighting requirements according to EN 12464-1 must be observed.
