HOW MUCH LIGHTING DO I NEED?

IT'S EASY TO CALCULATE

You can easily pick the right amount of light for each room in your home. Certain rooms require more light than others, so pay attention and take notes:

Here is a simple calculation to see how much lighting you need: Calculate Total Sqf of Space & Multiply by 14.5. Always Remember Dark Surfaces & Tall Ceilings Reduce Lighting Output.	Living Room: 10-20 Lumens Per/Sqf
	Kitchen (General): 30-40 Lumens Per/Sqf
	Kitchen (Task): 70-80 Lumens Per/Sqf
	Dining Room: 30-40 Lumens Per/Sqf
	Bedroom: 10-20 Lumens Per/Sqf
	Hallway: 5-10 Lumens Per/Sqf
	Bathroom: 5-10 Lumens Per/Sqf

PRIMARY vs. SECONDARY LIGHTING?

These are usually can or flush mounted overhead lights.

2. Secondary Lighting
