lumens for each room

The kitchen

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the home where different activities can take place. For this reason, it is important to make sure that you enjoy adequate lighting through lighting points not only over the table but also on the worktops and stoves. Overall we recommend from 2000 to 4000 lumens.

The living room

The living room can be divided into two areas: the TV space and the dining/dinner area. In the first area, intense light is not necessary, for this reason, we recommend from 1500 to 3000 lumens. Dimmable lighting will help create the right atmosphere for every occasion.


The lunch/dinner area instead requires a brighter light, between 3000 and 6000 lumens. Also, in this case, dimmable bulbs can be the most suitable solution.

The bathroom

The bathroom is the space where you need the greatest amount of light possible, especially when you do usual activities like brushing your teeth, shaving your beard or putting on your makeup. For this reason, the number of lumens indicated for this environment varies from 2000 to 4000.
This is possible through a single lamp or several points of light, depending on your preferences. However, it is essential that the lamps that will be installed in the bathroom have an excellent degree of IP protection. This acronym stands for Ingress Protection and measures the protection of a product from the entry of solids and liquids.

Bedroom

The amount of artificial light to be created in the bedroom will vary depending on the presence of bulky items of furniture, such as a large closet for example.

Furthermore, if the room is intended for children the amount of light must be higher, between 2000 and 4000 lumens, to adapt not only to relaxation activities but also to study.

Practical advice

In the technical data sheet of each product, there is a reference to the number of lumens emitted by the light source and the color temperature. The tone of light will affect the effect you want to create in a room. To find out more click here. Do not hesitate to contact us for assistance in choosing a product.

How to choose the right LED recessed spotlight? What are LED recessed spotlights? LED recessed spotlights are luminous fixtures that allow large spaces to be lit evenly and elegantly. They are commonly installed in a false ceiling as a substitute for old incandescent or halogen spotlights. Compared to LED downlights, the LED spotlights emit a more concentrated beam of light and contribute to enhancing light/shadow contrasts. For this reason, they are ideal for accent lighting on paintings and other artistic works. Where to install LED recessed spotlights? A recessed LED spotlight can be installed in any environment: entrances, corridors, walk-in closets and even in the bathroom. In damp areas or where the spotlight may be exposed to water or dust, it is recommended to check the appropriate IP protection. Depending on the angle of the light beam, recessed spotlights can serve as general or accent lighting. In addition to the light intensity emitted by the spotlight, various ...

How to calculate the lumens for each room? Often when buying an LED bulb it can be difficult to choose the amount of lumen needed for the environment where you want to install the new light source. In this blog, you can get an indication of the number of lumens recommended for each room in the house and acquire some basic notions of lighting that will help you to orient yourself towards the choice that best suits your needs. What is the lumen? The lumen indicates the amount of light emitted by a light source, or in short, measures the brightness of a lamp. This unit of measurement is essential as the lumen and watt (lm / W) ratio allow the energy efficiency of a lamp to be identified. In fact, LED lights are known for their low energy consumption but high light output. These innovative solutions emit the same amount of light as the old lamps but consume much less energy. For example, a halogen lamp with the same characteristics as an LED will have an average energy efficienc...
