Light Calculation in a Room Needs Proper Analysis

The appropriate installation of illumination provides necessary function in addition to creating visual beauty. The correct determination of required light quantities in each room stands as a crucial requirement for designing homes, working spaces, and commercial facilities. Quartier Studio, the best interior design company in Noida, expertly incorporates Light Fixtures and Designs to ensure proper lighting positioning that enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of spaces.

Step-by-Step Light Calculation

1. Measure the Room’s Dimensions

• The first step to calculating necessary lighting involves determining the square measurement of the space.
• Formula: Length × Width = Square Footage
• Example: A 10 ft × 12 ft room = 120 sq. ft.

2. The requirements of light intensity must be understood according to the type of room under consideration.

• Every space requires a particular illumination level that varies between rooms.
• Bedroom: Requires the least amount of light
• Living Room: Requires more light than a bedroom
• Kitchen: Requires more light than a living room
• Office: Requires the highest amount of light

What is a lumen?

The lumen serves as a measurement tool to determine the amount of visible light that emanates from light sources. The measurement provides information about bulbs and fixtures brightness levels. More lumens give the brighter light.

How Many Lumens Do You Need?

Calculate light requirements through this method:

• Bedroom: 100 sq. feet × 20 lumens = 2000 lumens
• Living Room: 100 sq. feet × 30 lumens = 3000 lumens
• Kitchen: 100 sq. feet × 40 lumens = 4000 lumens

Tip from Quartier Studio:

Each 50-watt bulb emitted 500 lumens of lighting power in the past. An 8 to 12-watt LED bulb currently produces equal brightness to previous 50-watt incandescent bulbs. Check the lumen output specifications on every light package before buying for purchase.

Best Lighting for a False Ceiling

False Ceiling Lights

The following solution works better than circular lights for false ceiling spaces, which combine modern aesthetics with false ceilings:

Aluminum Profile Lights
