Figure 24.

Reproducing natural light intensity is possible, but not probable, with fluorescent lamps. As one can see from Figure 23, light intensity is ~1,500 molm2sec (~75,000 lux) at a depth of 1 meter, and ~750 molm2sec (~37,500 lux) at 10 meters.

If replication of natural light intensity is impractical (in many cases), then one has to w
