Frequently Asked Questions
Calculate the total lumens required based on room area and desired foot-candles, then divide by the effective lumens per light (lumen output × light loss factor).
Living rooms typically require 10-20 foot-candles for general lighting, and 30-50 for task lighting.
Light loss factor accounts for dirt accumulation, lamp depreciation, and other factors reducing light output. A typical value is 0.8.
