Different amounts of light needed for reading and tasks

A survey shows 22 percent of children finish grade school with damaged eyesight and 65 percent by age forty and 95 percent by sixty. Light levels are given in foot-candles, with 5 for simple tasks, 10 for coarse reading, 20 for ordinary sewing, and 30 or more for fine work. Eight feet from a lamp requires 275 candlepower for 80 foot-candles, and kerosene lamps can provide ample light if wiring is unavailable.
