The current national standards of face recognition do not put the placement of light for a clear description, only said that the light should be uniform when face recognition, no overexposure and underexposure. In this paper, we present a novel database and use different face recognition algorithms to determine the placement of light during face recognition. For this study, we have chosen ten widely-used face recognition algorithms: principal component analysis(PCA), linear discriminant analysis(LDA), independent component analysis(ICA), nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), histogram of oriented gradient(HOG), scale-invariant feature transform(SIFT), face recognition, CosFace, ArcFace, and Combined Margin. We use a novel database that contains face images with a wide range of illumination angles to analyze the relationship between these algorithms and illumination angles. The results of this experiment indicate that the horizontal illumination angle of the light should be controlled in the range from -10° to 10° and the vertical illumination angle should be controlled in the range from -10° to 10°.
