How do you calculate shop lighting?
Calculating Shop Lighting Requirements
- Measure the Room: Start by measuring the width, length, and ceiling height of your shop. If you plan to install lights at a specific height, take note of that as well.
- Determine Square Footage: Multiply the length by the width to obtain the square footage of your shop.
- Calculate Minimum Lumens: Multiply the square footage by 70 to get the minimum lumen value required for basic lighting. For example, if your shop is 1,200 sq ft, you'd need a minimum of 84,000 Lumens.
- Adjust for Specific Use: For detailed work, multiply the square footage by 105 to get a higher lumens value. For instance, a 1,200 sq ft shop for detailed work would require approximately 126,000 Lumens.
