✔️ Use a calibrated lux meter. 📊
✔️ Take five readings: one at each of the four corners and one at the center of the area. 📍
✔️ Calculate the average value of these readings. ➗
✔️ The light intensity should be NLT (Not Less Than) 𝟰𝟬𝟬 𝗹𝘂𝘅 💡 for areas requiring precise visual inspection and documentation.
