How Do You Light Up Your Space to 30 FC?

Various lighting approaches can reach the same illuminance goal.

Direct ambient lighting, in random or structured layout, is an efficient way to light up a space. Utilize high-output luminaires in larger spacings or low-output, compact ones in denser layout for a uniform light field.

Perimeter wall lighting and indirect ceiling cove techniques, although more energy-intensive, are great ways to enhance the appearance of architectural surfaces. They increase visual comfort and define the depth and height of the space.

Select the strategy that best fits your design and watch the magic unfold!

Four Ways to 30 FC

Point downlights: LPD 0.51 W/SF

Linear downlights: LPD 0.32 W/SF

Perimeter wall grazer: LPD 0.75 W/SF

Indirect cove light: LPD 0.57 W/SF

Note: The photometry studies were based on surface reflectance of ceiling 0.8, wall 0.5, floor 0.2. Ceiling height: 10 ft. Space area: 2,720 sf.
