Quality is equally important as is quantity. Quality of light has an impact on the visual comfort of space. Since these cannot be measured, it is subjective and depends on an individual's perception. For eg., if a space is too bright or too dark can be a subjective perception. The goal of good daylighting is to have uniform distributed light as much as possible. However, it is always important to have the context in mind. A dramatic effect of light and shade could be desired in a courtyard or can create an interesting pattern on a facade. Thus, the context is to be considered.
