Pocklington Research
The housing needs of people with sight loss (Bartlett – University College London): – People aged over 65– People ‘of working age’ – Identified importance of lighting
Lighting for people with sight loss (University of Reading):– Questionnaires and surveys of installed lighting

Lighting in homes of people with sight loss – common findings
Low levels of lighting– shadows– stairs
Glare from light fittings– direct view of lamp
Adaptation to different light levels– when moving from room to room
Poor control – switching / dimming Lack of information on improvements

Lighting at home – approach
Visits to homes of people with sight loss Discussions with user – establish user needs Assessments of existing lighting Proposals for lighting changes
– Tailored to individual’s needs– Agreed with user
Installation Evaluation
