Lighting levels

[Martinm]

Folks

I'm in the middle of an assignment and trying to design lighting for a kitchen area that is 10m in length 7m wide 4m ceiling height...

I was thinking something in and around 500 lux, would I be right in saying this??

Thanks

i would say 300 for a kitchen but may be wrong

assume a 300 lux level using 300lm. LEDs. you would need ( lux x area ) / lm, i.e ( 300 x 70 ) / 300 = 70 LED fittings. a lot of holes in the ceiling.LOL.
