The choice of lighting fixtures for commercial spaces depends on the specific function of the space, visual needs, and the desired atmosphere.
Lumen brightness requirements depend on the space area, purpose, and illuminance standards.
Offices/Meeting Rooms
Approximately 300-500 lumens per square meter are needed. The total lumen count for all fixtures will be calculated based on the room area. Different areas require different total lumen counts; adjustable fixtures should be selected according to the needs.
Supermarkets/ Warehouses
Supermarkets and warehouses have high lumen requirements. Supermarkets typically need 8,000-15,000 lumens to highlight merchandise and require high color rendering. Warehouses generally need 300-500 LUX to meet the needs of sorting, packaging, and other delicate operations.
Hotel Lobby/ Corridor
Lighting in hotel lobbies and corridors needs to be tailored to the space's function and atmosphere. Lux levels are typically around 150-300 Lux to provide a comfortable and warm-toned lighting environment.
Color temperature affects the perceived warmth or coolness of a light and the overall atmosphere.
