Glare is a visual condition caused by excessive brightness or contrast that creates discomfort or reduces the ability to see. In heavy-duty environments it can affect operators, nearby personnel, mirrors, and cameras. Nordic Lights’ Glare-Free optics use a controlled light pattern and cut-off line to limit light at eye level. Discomfort glare causes annoyance or fatigue, while disability glare reduces visual performance by scattering light within the eye. Glare risk depends on intensity, contrast, source size, viewing direction, mounting height, and surrounding brightness. Correct pattern selection, aiming, shielding, and lamp placement are therefore as important as the total light output of the installation.
