The main topic of this article is how to find out how many lumens of light you need for your project.
You may be thinking about the last time you needed space lighting. How many lumens is enough? Most people probably just think, “I need to get some lights”, but different lights emit different amounts of lumens! So this article will cover some of the common areas where you may need lighting and the number of lumens you need. We’re going to measure in lux, which is simply lumens per square meter you can use a square yard if you want, they’re close enough for our measurements.
1. House
In our homes, we obviously like to see, but we don’t need to be blind! Therefore, homes typically require less lux than other areas, averaging around 150 lux (remember, this means you want around 150 lumens per square meter!) Our LED strip lights often produce They produce more. You can find the right amount from the products section and filtering on the optical flux . LED strip lights are suitable for lighting one square meter of the interior of the house. Know more: How to light up small spaces with LED strip lights?Â
2. Office
We want more light when working, and that’s normal, we don’t want to lose any details! So for most office environments (or other work environments, even classrooms!) you want between 250 lux and 500 lux, depending on the intensity of the work. So, while Baseline Strip and Lowline Loop Light filaments can work well for the low and mid-range of that spectrum, the high end of that spectrum, around 500 lux, needs something.
3. Garage or similar places
If you find yourself doing a lot of mechanical work, then you want more light to see small details that, if overlooked, could potentially cause problems down the road. These types of areas usually do not require less than 1000 lux. Fortunately, baseline light strips are perfect for these applications because, as explained above, they provide nearly 1,000 more lumens per foot of strip.
