Note: Vertical lux was measured 120 cm above the floor in the middle of the room in four directions that were averaged to produce the mean vertical illumination. Mean horizontal lux was calculated as the mean of measurements 80 cm above the floor in the middle of the room and 50 cm from the back wall. Mean lux values were calculated for the intervention and control group by averaging the values across clusters. Differences between groups tested with Student’s t-test
