How to Determine HowMany Lumens You’llNeed to Properly LightYour SpaceHave you ever wondered how many LEDlights, or LED lumens, you need to light aroom?The question itself may be challenging and, whenfaced with having to calculate how much LEDlighting you need to create a well lit space, it canget even more complicated. Here’s how to determine how many lumens you need to properly lighta space.

KEY TERMSLumensWattage EquivalenceLumen output, also known as brightness orlight output, is a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a light sourceper unit of time, weighted according to thehuman eye’s sensitivity to wavelengths oflight, the study of which is known as luminous efficiency function. The referencepoint: a standard 100-watt incandescentlight bulb produces about 1,500 – 1,700lumens.Since we’ve conflated watts and lumens, it’seasier to talk about bulbs in terms of watts.So if a 100-watt incandescent produces1,500 lumens, and a 10-watt LED does thesame, the 10-Watt LED may advertise “100watt equivalent” on its label.WattsNot a measure of brightness; instead, it’s ameasure of how much electricity (or energy)a light bulb consumes to reach its claimedbrightness. Each type of light source, LED,fluorescent, halogen or incandescent has adifferent lumen-per-watt ratio. Below we’regoing to use lumens as a measurement tomake sure we have enough light for a space.EfficacyThe number of lumens a bulb producesfor each watt it consumes. The higher thenumber, the more efficient the bulb. Forexample, lighting products that have beendesignated with the ENERGY STAR label aredeemed high efficacy, meaning they havebeen determined to deliver the same features while using less energy.www.alconlighting.com

For example, a100-square-foot living room, which needs 10-5000 lumens20 footcandles, will need 1,000-2,000 lumens.540 lumensA 100-square-foot dining room, which needs30-40 footcandles, will need 3,000-4,000lumens.200 lumensSummaryFor the average space of 250 square feet, you’ll need roughly 2,500-5,000 lumens as your primary lightsource (10-20lumens x 250 square feet). In your dining room, you’ll want about 30 lumens per square foot on your dining table (youwant to see your food, but not examine it), so if your table is 6 x 3 feet, that’s540 lumens. Keep in mind, however, that these numbers are for typical conditions. If you have especially dark coloredwalls and furniture, or if you’re using fixtures with shades, you’ll need roughly an additional 10 lumens per square foot.We based our calculations on 8-foot ceilings. Finally, personal preference will play the largest part in your decision. Ifyou like the room to be especially bright, you may want to add an additional 10 to 20% to our numbers. In fact, the bestapproach for most spaces is to aim high and install dimmers to bring the light down to desired levels.www.alconlighting.com
