How do I determine the correct amount of wattage to properly illuminate a 12’ by 16’ room?
Multiply the room dimensions to get your total square footage (12 x 16 = 192). Then multiply the square footage by 1.5 for the total illumination needed (192 x 1.5 = 288 watts) for specific task lighting within a space – for instance, the light needed on an island in your kitchen – multiply the square footage of the island (8’ x 4’=32 square foot) Two 40 watt pendants would do the job.
