Lighting Glossary
Term:
Glare
A light beam striking the eye directly hence reducing visual ability (physiological glare) and visual comfort (psychological glare). Glare can result directly from lamps or other surfaces with a high luminous density, such as windows (direct glare) or indirectly by reflection from shiny surfaces (glare caused by reflection). Glare reduces the visual ability.
