Have you been considering buying new light fixtures for your home but can’t get your head wrapped around just how much light you need? Don’t worry! We’ve put together a guide to help you understand the science behind lighting indoor spaces. We spoke to lighting planning specialist Martinas Simutis to help us illustrate the process of choosing the right lighting for different rooms. We often rely on Martinas’ experience and suggest his consultancy service to many of our clients. The Importance of Good Lighting “Lighting is a very powerful tool in architecture and interior design. It has the ability to change perception of space without any physical boundaries,” says Martinas. “It can make a small room feel bigger; it can make a large and uninviting space feel cosy and intimate. It can enhance and engergise the mood or calm us down.” He explains that light in general plays a very important role for humans. We rely on our internal clock to regulate our functions. Bad lighting can disrupt our body’s natural patterns, leading to changes in our energy levels and it can even affect our mood. When it comes to lighting, there are plenty of things to consider, from the light source to colour temperature and the angle of the beam. These can all influence the atmosphere of the room. However, in this guide, we are going to focus on calculating the amount of light needed to adequately light a room. The Math Behind it “The question of what is enough light is difficult enough but when faced with having to calculate how much lighting you need to create a well-lit space, it can become a bure more complicated,” says Martinas. However, there is no better way to know that you’ve chosen enough light for your room than to do the math behind it! Martinas explains how you can do these calculations yourself: Step One: Determine Room Square Footage Multiply the length of the room by the width to get the square footage of the room. For example, if the room is 10 feet wide and 10 feet long, the room will be 100 sq. ft. Square foot formula. Step Two: Determine the Foot Candles by Room Type or Room Purpose A foot-candle is how bright a light is one foot away from its source. Lighting requirements vary depending on the type of room being lit. For example, a bathroom or kitchen will require more foot-candles than a living room or bedroom. Foor candles. Step Three: Determine the Required Lumens A lumen is a unit measurement of light. To determine the required lumens, you will need to multiply your room’s square footage by your room foot-candle requirement. For example, a 100 sq. ft. living room, which needs 10-20 foot-candles, will need 1,000 - 2,000 lumens. A 100 sq. ft. dining room, which needs 30-40 foot-candles, will need 3,000-4,000 lumens. A guide to foot candles by room. A Quick Summary For the average space of 250 sq. ft., you will need roughly 5,000 lumens as your primary light source (20 foot candles x250 square feet). In your dining room, you will want about 30 lumens per square foot on your dining table (you want to see your food, but not examine it), so if your table is 6 x 3 feet, that is 540 lumens. Your Interior Can Affect How Much Light You Need When trying to measure the quantity of light needed for a particular room, it is also important to consider the interior design. If you have especially dark coloured walls and furniture, or if you are using fixtures with shades, you will roughly need an additional 10 lumens per square foot. High ceilings also require more light, as do rooms with lots of furniture, display items or complex geometry. “Personal preference will play the largest part in your decision. If you like the room to be especially bright, you may want to add an additional 10 to 20% to your number,” says Martinas. “The best approach for most spaces is to aim high and install dimmers to bring the light level down to desired levels.” Determine the Function of the Room “It also depends on the function obviously, what kind of light is required,” explains Martinas. A guide to LED lumens by room. Living rooms and bedrooms can be more atmospheric, so they will require different types of lights or a combination of them. Ambient lights. Which are usually your ceiling lights, are needed for general tasks, such as cleaning and being able to move around the room. Bright task lights can be implemented for functions that require more focus like reading and applying make-up. Fixture placement for task lighting. Accent lighting is more decorative and helps to create an atmosphere in the room. When calculating the amount of light needed, it is essential to consider the requirements of the room. As mentioned before, the areas where you will be performing tasks will need more lumens per square foot. This could be over your kitchen island, the dining room or in the shower. We hope this guide has given you a better idea of how lighting plans work. Happy lighting!

They look wonderful! We will definitely be in touch for future projects. Rachel (Rachel Winham Interiors) Quite the most exquisite wall lights that I have ever used! They are utterly gorgeous and look totally stunning. Perfect for a chalet in every way and they will go top of my list when specifying the next one. Nicky (Nicky Dobree Interior Design Ltd) We have worked with Hannah on several yacht projects. Each time she has made us lamps with great style and presence and they’ve all been hugely admired. We love the process of working with Hannah; experimenting with patina and finishes to create something very individual. It’s working with a proper artisan. Dickie Bannenberg (Bannenberg and Rowell Design) Hannah Woodhouse and her team are superb. Their customer service is great. They respond very quickly and their installation instructions are well prepared and very easy to understand. And they make great products! Patric Brännbacka (Baltic Yachts) Perfection! Thank you so much for the ravishing wall lights – the bronze color was perfect, and I am sorry that so much effort went into the stitching of the lampshades, but I can’t tell you stunning they are – that added detail just makes those wall lights sing in the space and really pulls out scheme together – they do say it’s all in the details!! Thank you again, and it was so lovely to work with you again. Ros (Roslyn Keet, Associate Director, DAVID COLLINS STUDIO) I met Hannah many years ago and had been waiting for the right project and opportunity to work with her. I wish I had found that opportunity sooner because she is fabulous and inspirational to work with and will enhance any project with passion, integrity and creativity. Hannah immersed herself in the Inukshuk sailing yacht project wanting to understand the design brief and direction of the project fully before putting forward creative ideas and working together with me to exceed the client’s expectations in every way. She far exceeded my own expectations in the degree of authenticity she brought to the project. For the finishes and patinas, Hannah worked with and enhanced the color scheme I had already established for the interior. She designed and made custom wall and table lamps with incredible attention to detail. Each table lamp had a small stand-alone switch housing cast in the same material so as not to ruin the purity of the lamp base itself. She provided robustly designed lamp shades using minimal and elegant materials to avoid “wobbly shade syndrome”. She made everything with hidden solidity appropriate to withstand the slamming of a light-weight carbon fibre performance sailing yacht in a heavy sea. Her finishes and the protective coatings were applied with the marine environment in mind. I also wanted bedheads which resembled stone with lichen growing on them as a feature for the cabins. After trying a number of expert paint effects artists, I asked Hannah whether she could help me. She applied finishes to light-weight bedhead panels that not only looked like stone with lichen growing on them, by making her own natural pigments from berries which were sourced from the owner’s favourite region of North America, she provided a physical connection in her art. Hannah really went the extra mile. Hannah’s attention to detail, communication and timely delivery made her a most valuable addition to the design and build team. I have no hesitation in recommending Hannah and I look forward to working with her again and again. Adam Lay (Adam Lay Studio Limited). Customization OptionsThis wall sconce is shipped in our trademark 'calm white' color. Alternatively you may specify any color of your choice (for an additional charge quoted on an individual order basis). For this we will need a RAL paint color ref.
