How Much Light Do You Need?

Ceiling Fan Buying Guide

There's actually a proven (and simple) formula for calculating the proper amount of general light you should have in each room or area of your home. So, dust off those arithmetic skills...

  • Measure the room's length and width in feet
  • Multiply the two measurements together for square footage
  • Then, multiply the room's square footage by 1.5

The result is the total amount of wattage necessary to light the room for general brightness. Here's an example:
A room measures 12 feet by 16 feet, so 12 x 16 = 192. Multiplying 192 x 1.5 gives you 288 watts. That means an 8-light chandelier using 40-watt bulbs would provide ample brightness for the room, with 320 watts.

For centuries, chandeliers have provided illumination of one kind or another. From the extravagant to the subtle, these adaptable fixtures are becoming increasingly versatile. They add sparkle and ambience, while displaying a functionality that is undeniable.


When you’re looking for a chandelier, you may have some questions. How much light do I need for my room? How big should my new chandelier be? What themes and finishes are available? Whatever your questions, this is a great place to begin. Read More
