Lumens refer to the amount of light that is radiated, or the lightbulb brightness. Similar to watts, the higher the lumen, the brighter the light. To understand how many lumens you need, you must first find the square footage of the room or area you are trying to light.
To find the square footage, multiply the room's length by the width. We recommend 20 lumens per square foot for most rooms, but please see our table to see how many lumens you need for every room in your home. However, if you have extra-dark rooms or dark wall panelling, we recommend adding an additional 10 lumens per square foot.
Remember that the total number of lumens can be spread across a few different light fixtures throughout the room. One light fixture doesn't have to handle all the lumens required to light your space.
| Room | Lumens recommended per square foot | |
| Living rooms and bedrooms | 20 | |
| Hallways | 10 | |
| Kitchens and dinning rooms | 30-40 | |
| Bathrooms | 70-80 |

Need an Electrical Installation Condition Reports? (EICR)
Fixed Wire Testing, also known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), checks that your electrical installations or circuits conform to the latest wiring regulations, in order to ensure you are compliant with relevant workplace safety legislation.
The frequency of testing is specified in the latest version of the IET Wiring Regulations (currently BS7671:2018) and is determined by;
The type of installation
How often it is used
The external influences or environment to which the electrical installation is exposed.
For many commercial businesses, an EICR, which used to be called a periodic testing report, will be required at the lowest frequency interval – every 5 Years. However, higher risk environments will require 3 Yearly or even more frequent testing.
It should be noted that all stated periods are maximum intervals. Deterioration of the installation may indicate a need to reduce the interval between testing.
5 Year Fixed Wire Testing
Most standard workplace environments need an Electrical Installation Condition Report to be produced at least every 5 years. However, there should be regular routine inspections conducted at least annually.
Commercial spaces such as offices and retail outlets
