FAQs
- Q: How do I choose the right brightness for a room?
- A: Consider the function of the room. A living room or bedroom may require 10 - 20 lumens per square foot, while a kitchen or study may need 30 - 50 lumens per square foot. You can also use a combination of general, task, and accent lighting to achieve the desired level of brightness.
- Q: Can I install a dimmer switch on any light?
- A: Not all lights are compatible with dimmer switches. Check the manufacturer's instructions or product specifications. LED lights, for example, may require a specific type of dimmer switch designed for LED bulbs.
- Q: How long do LED lights last?
- A: LED lights typically last between 25,000 and 50,000 hours, depending on the quality and usage. This is significantly longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, which usually last around 1,000 - 2,000 hours.
