Ceiling Lights—Bigger May Not Be Better!

Ceiling lights are certainly the standard fixtures found in most homes and apartments. You really want to have more than one source of illumination in any room but sometimes this is not always a viable option. When buying ceiling lights, you want to be sure that you have enough illumination for the completion of most tasks but not so much to go blind!

Multiple-bulb ceiling lights are commonly used to provide both ambient and task lighting. However, the amount of illumination that a room needs is based upon a basic formula: Room length X Room width X 1.5. For a living room that is 14 ft by 12 feet, that means you would need a ceiling fixture (or total illumination for the room) that produced roughly 250 watts. A ceiling light with 4-60 Watt bulbs should provide ample illumination for the room without overpowering the space.

Bigger is definitely not always better when it comes to ceiling lights so be sure to measure the space carefully and buy a fixture that provides ample illumination.
