Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to select light sources and luminaries
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures for a given work location are identified and applied
2. Lighting design parameters are obtained from a design brief, job specification and/or consultations with the client
3. Illumination parameters for particular situation and task are obtained and applied in accordance with relevant industry standards
4. Lighting manufacturer specifications for products are obtained and reviewed
5. Select light sources and luminaries
   • WHS/OHS risk control work measures and workplace procedures are followed
6. Light sources and luminaries are selected appropriate to lighting design parameters
7. Selected light sources and luminaries are within the illumination in accordance with relevant industry standards and the job specification
8. Selected light sources and luminaries are documented accordance with workplace procedures
9. Documentation is forwarded to appropriate person/s in accordance with workplace procedures

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
Selecting light sources and luminaries must be demonstrated in at least three of the following:	an application using incandescent lamps for colour rendition outside security lighting high bay application highway lighting store/shop lighting school or training classroom localised task lighting flood-lighting application situation integrating some natural daylight
