DID YOU KNOW?

A professional lux meter (starting from ~20€) can help measure brightness levels accurately, as smartphone apps often give unreliable results.

Finding the Perfect Balance

TOO DARK?

Add task lighting or switch to higher-lumen bulbs.

TOO BRIGHT?

Use dimmable lights to adjust intensity for different moods.

COLOR TEMPERATURE MATTERS:

– > 5000 K: Energizing, cool daylight (office, kitchen)
– 3400 K – 5000 K: Balanced, neutral white light (multi-purpose rooms)
– 2700 K – 3300 K: Warm white, relaxing tones (bedroom, living room)
