1
For the General calculation of the lamps use the following formula: P=pS/N, p –power, the specific lighting, measured in Watts per square meter (the average is 20 Watts per square meter), S is the area of the premises, for which this lamp is calculated in square meters and N is the number of lamps.
2
Example: calculate the room measure the length and width of the room. The results obtained (for example, 3.3 meters long and 4.5 meters wide) between multiply and get the area of this room (3,3 × 4,4 = 14,85 square meters). This figure multiply by 20 and divide by the expected number of bulbs in lamps. For example, take the 3 lamps on 2 lamps in each. In this case, 14,85 multiply by 20 and divide by 6 (3×2=6). Get the result, which means that in this case, you have 6 lamps at 49.5 Watts.
3
Can vary the wattage in each lamp, dividing the room into several zones with different lighting. The total power of all lamps in the room should not be less than 297 Watts.
4
In some cases it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the premises, which make the calculation of the total power of the installed lamps. In this case, do the calculation, substituting the value of the coefficient p in the table below:property Type|incandescent Lamp|Halogen lamp|fluorescent svyatetsky room..............30-85....................70-85....................15-22
Living room.....................15-35....................25-35....................7-10
Bedroom......................10-25....................15-17....................4-7
Corridor......................10-20....................10-13....................3-5
Kitchen........................15-40....................30-37....................6-10
Bathroom...............15-30....................22-27....................6-9
Storage room, garage..............12-15....................11-14....................3-5Здесь, to calculate, for example, lighting in the kitchen (area 3 meters square) with the use of fluorescent lamps, take the coefficient of p (average 9) from table, multiply by the kitchen area and if you will be trehrozhkovye lamp, divide by three: 9×3/3 = 9 Watts in each of the three installed in the lamp bulb.
