Current discomfort glare prediction metrics usually account for at least one of the two categories of effects that induce discomfort glare – the saturation and contrast effects. Saturation-driven metrics (overall illuminance on the eye) are suited for brightly lit scenes in general. On the contrary, contrast-driven metrics (luminance ratio in the field of view) usually perform better in high contrast conditions such as with small-sized bright glare sources. Only a few existing metrics consider both effects, such as the Daylight Glare Probability (DGP). However, even these “hybrid” metrics may underperform in conditions other than those considered when they were developed, such as in dim scenes with high contrast glare. This paper investigates the ability of current glare indicators to predict perceived discomfort glare in user-evaluated scenes depending on two different adaptation levels. Towards this end, we used a composite …
