Lighting calculation

lux norms by room type → luminous flux and number of fixtures

Parameters

Utilization: 70–80% for light rooms, 50–60% for dark walls/ceilings. Reference: LED 9 W ≈ 800 lm, GU10 spot ≈ 400 lm, 5 m strip ≈ 1500–3000 lm.

This is general ambient lighting. Task zones (countertop, desk, mirror) need local task lighting beyond the norm. More small fixtures beat one strong one — uniformity matters more than total flux.
