HDB lighting design: Calculating optimal brightness levels – metrics

Frequently Asked Questions

Aim for 100-200 lux for general lighting in living rooms. This provides comfortable ambient light for relaxation and social activities.
Use a lux meter to measure illuminance in lux (lumens per square meter). There are also smartphone apps that can provide approximate readings.
Opt for warm white light (2700K-3000K) in bedrooms to promote relaxation and prepare for sleep.
Consider illuminance (lux), color rendering index (CRI), and glare control for kitchen task lighting to ensure adequate and accurate lighting for food preparation.
Larger spaces require more light fixtures or higher lumen output per fixture to achieve the desired illuminance levels. Smaller spaces may need fewer or dimmer lights to avoid excessive brightness.
