Planning and rooms

Start with what you do in the room. A useful lighting plan combines general light, task lighting and gentle accents rather than relying on a single powerful lamp.

Types of lights

Choose the lighting effect and mounting position before the shape. Two similar-looking fittings can illuminate a room very differently.

Brightness: lm, W and lx

Lumens describe emitted light. Watts describe power consumption. Lux describes the light reaching a surface. These units cannot be used interchangeably.
