dominic17: Since you already knew that the cost is high, why asking for review? Would you accept any review that says that the cost is low or moderate? |

redgem:Wow, madam. Do you consider the cost of generator, inverter KVA that will run total consumption of your energy per day, even PHCN? Please leave these discussions for professionals, they have the knowledge and standards they use to determine how a size of room should be bright. No vex ooo, how many bulbs do you intend to use for the entire building? Let even try little math of energy consumption. Let say you have generators of 15 KVa running on 3liters per hour at the rate of diesel 250x 3 = 750 per hour x 8 hours daily = 6k per day. This is not 24 hours. My opinion sha ooo. This just on conservative estimates 4 Likes 1 Share |

What you want is a proper lighting simulation Keep in mind the level of lighting for a home is not supposed to be above 50 lux. Lighting for an office is 400 to 500 lux Also your home lighting is supposed to be warm white, not all those daylight or cool white of the office. Most of these luminaire manufacturers have online lighting calculation tools The maximum you are looking for is your home is 50 to 75 lux in rooms. In the kitchen you may want 300 to 400 lux. Maybe same in the study. Maybe same in garage. But you really don't want office levels of illumination in a home. All this calling watts is a completely wrong way of calculating lighting levels. The unit of lighting is lux for UK candela for us 1 Like |

redgem: All the best. I got these results from my YouTube history. When I wanted to do magic with lighting in my place Lighting is both a science and an art. Sadly here we only set up lighting for the purpose of lighting and not for setting mood and ambiance or for tasks. So you need to learn a bit more to explore the range of what is possible with lighting design 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by kopell: 5:14pm On Mar 21, 2023 |
redgem:Is he recommended 6 watts x numbers of points? That doesnโt make any sense to me then. If is 6 watts is should be have of those points then. |

FEGEITOK: If you really want to mess with lighting design you can go for dialux or relux. They are both free lighting design apps. Most of the lighting industry has built modules that work with their software. It takes a little getting used to, but that is the way to go if you want to simulate lighting of your room |

redgem: These days people donโt do walk bracket any longer To me itโs a waste of space and energy. I believe there is rope lights, center light then pop lights.. thatโs enough If you get original pop lights you donโt need that much light honestly. 3 Likes 1 Share

GloriousGbola: thanks for sharing. I almost even signed up for a lighting design course But I had to backpedal because I wouldn't have time to complete it. But I have it in mind. I am grateful to learn from you. The major light manufacturers in the US have several videos on this on YouTube, one can watch and pick lessons even if he or she is not going to use their products |
