WHAT ARE 'LUMENS'? WHY CAN'T WE JUST KEEP 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS? IT'S JUST CONFUSING!
Lumens are used in LED lighting to measure the brightness of a bulb.
This is not the same as Watts, which measure the amount of energy a light bulb uses
The term Lumen literally means 'Light.' Which makes sense when you consider what it is measuring.
Lumens, in other words, measure the quantity of light emitted by your LED bulb.
The larger the number of Lumens, the brighter the light produced.
When searching for LED lights, one term that will come up frequently is 'Lumen'.
In reality, Lumen ratings are frequently listed first on any information panel of an LED light.
Lumens are an important lighting parameter, and understanding them can help you choose the proper lighting for your purpose.
Here's an explanation of what this phrase implies and how it influences your lighting selections
Why Are LED Lights Measured In Lumens?
Measuring the brightness of a light is more important than measuring its power.
Traditional incandescent bulbs were measured in watts, which showed how much power they use.
More wattage meant a brighter light. Now that the industry has so many energy-efficient lighting options, more wattage does not actually mean more light, unless you are staying within the same type of bulb.
That is why LED lighting is measured in Lumens.
Lumens are a particularly helpful unit when trying to calculate how many lights to buy for your room or living space.
Most rooms have a minimum requirement for proper visibility, and you can only calculate how many lights you need if you calculate this in Lumens.
If you need a particular number of Lumens per square foot and know how many Lumens the light produces, you can install or purchase the correct number of lights for the purposes required.
Lumen Levels For Specific Rooms
Living Room Lighting
The number of lumens required for the living room differs from that required for the TV area and the dining area.
For the TV area, you don't need a high luminosity. Instead, we propose using adjustable LED lights so that you may choose the ideal mood for each moment.
You'll need between 1500 and 3000 lumens for the TV area.
You'll need a little extra oomph for the dining area. Once again, dimmable LED lights are the ideal option. This room requires between 3000 and 6000 lumens.
Kitchen Lighting
The kitchen is one of the most significant rooms in your home, as it is where many activities take place.
As a result, having the proper amount of light is critical. To begin with, you must have a light source above your table.
You must then ensure that there are lights above the kitchen work area and burners.
Lighting with a luminous output of 2000 to 4000 is required to create that perfect ambience for your kitchen.
Bedroom Lighting
To determine how many lumens are needed in the bedroom, first determine whether it has a desk or large furniture, such as a high drawer.
If you have children, they may also spend a significant amount of time in their room studying. In this particular scenario, a lot of light is required. We recommend a total lumen amount of 2000 to 4000.
You can see the number of lumens on our products; make sure to choose the proper one for the room in order to create the optimal ambience.
Also, make sure to select the appropriate colour temperature, as this can have an impact on the overall appearance of a room.
Bathoom Lighting
The bathroom is the room that requires the most light.
When you shave or wash your teeth, you want to be sure you have enough vision!
It is advised that you have between 2000 and 4000 lumens in this space.
Depending on your preference, it can have one or more light sources.
You should also get a fixture with the appropriate IP rating. The IP rating of a lamp indicates its resistance to dampness and dust.
