How May lights ?

Page 1 of 1
Hi everyone, I'm new here and wondering how many lights are normal to have in a house, how many lights do you have in the interior and exterior ? we are building, haven't started yet but are in the electrical planning stage and don't want to go overboard or not enough !! Please advise how many lights are normal in a 270 sqm of interior living space thanks
Don't double post ( or in your case quadruple post ) on exactly the same subject ! The mods will get the sh1ts with you.

Oh ok, I didn't know, just trying to find the right place.But true, I understand your point!
How many is completely dependent on the area usage and type of lights you want to you.
a standard bedroom for eg, could be 1x batten holder or 1x high output LED Downlgiht with large spread, or 2-4x shallow spread LED Downlights.

All will do the job required but its up to the owner as to what they like the look of.
I would go and have a look at http://www.philips.com.au/c-m-li/residential-lighting-plan as their 15min guide is a good start to highlight what lighting areas are important and what they are to be used for.

After doing that you should decide on what type of lighting you want to use, batten standard lamps, LED downlights, fluros etc, look up some specs on different light fittings that you like and then use http://www.greenluxled.com.au/recommended-light-levels-for-various-tasks-and-activities/ as a rough guide on the light output required for a task
