Light Fixture Spacing Calculator
Calculate optimal light fixture spacing for perfect room illumination. Determine fixture count, layout patterns, and spacing distances for even lighting in any space.
Step 1: Room Dimensions
Room Type Guidelines
Different rooms require different lighting levels. Kitchens and offices need brighter, more focused lighting, while bedrooms and living rooms benefit from softer, ambient lighting.
Step 2: Fixture Specifications
Spacing Ratio Formula
The spacing ratio (typically 1-1.5x ceiling height) ensures even light distribution without dark spots or excessive overlap. For task lighting, use closer spacing (0.7-1x).

Layout Guidelines
For even lighting: Space fixtures evenly based on ceiling height. Keep fixtures 1/4 to 1/3 of room width from walls. In kitchens, center fixtures over work areas. In living rooms, create focal points.
