NOTE: Space fixtures 6' to 8' apart to create uniform illumination. Recommendations are for an 8' ceiling.

.

In addition to room length and width, other factors that should be considered are ceiling height; color of walls, ceiling and floors; other light sources in the area; and the amount of natural light entering the space.

 

For optimum appearance and efficiency, circline fixtures and 12 to 20 watt fixtures are best suited for bedrooms, laundry rooms, halls, closets and other areas where light levels are less critical.
