Light Fixture Calculator
Calculate lighting requirements for any space. Determine the number of light fixtures needed, energy costs, and compare different lighting technologies.
Step 1: Room Details
Understanding Lighting Requirements
Different rooms require different lighting levels (measured in lumens). Living spaces need 10-20 lumens per sq ft, while task areas like kitchens need 70-80 lumens per sq ft.
Step 2: Lighting Details
About Lighting Efficiency
Lumens measure light output, while watts measure energy consumption. LED fixtures provide more lumens per watt, making them more energy-efficient than incandescent or halogen bulbs.

Energy Cost Breakdown
Lighting Calculation Formula
Fixtures Needed = (Room Area × Lumens per sq ft) ÷ Lumens per Fixture
The number of fixtures is calculated by determining the total lumens needed for the room based on its purpose, then dividing by the lumens output of each fixture.
