How many lumens is good for an LED mirror?

A good range for lumens in an LED mirror is 600 to 800, providing sufficient brightness for makeup application.

When you want to order a LED bathroom mirror, have you ever wondered how many LED lights, or LED lumens, you need to light a bathroom?

A lumen , strictly speaking, 600 LED lumens provides the same amount of light as 600 incandescent lumens.

Though it&#;s true that a lumen is simply a unit of measurement of light, LED lights provide a higher Color Rendering Index (CRI), so one could see with better clarity in a room lit with LED lumens compared to one lit with the equivalent number of fluorescent, incandescent or halogen lumens.

How much light is enough?

The question itself may be challenging and, when faced with having to calculate how much LED lighting you need to create a well lit space, it can get even more complicated. Here&#;s how to determine how many lumens you need to properly light a space.

Key Terms

Lumens

Lumen output, also known as brightness or light output, is a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a light source per unit of time, weighted according to the human eye&#;s sensitivity to wavelengths of light, the study of which is known as luminous efficiency function. The reference point: a standard 100-watt incandescent light bulb produces about 1,500 &#; 1,700 lumens.

Watts

Not a measure of brightness; instead, it&#;s a measure of how much electricity (or energy) a light bulb consumes to reach its claimed brightness. Each type of light source, LED, fluorescent, halogen or incandescent has a different lumen-per-watt ratio. Below we&#;re going to use lumens as a measurement to make sure we have enough light for a space.

Wattage Equivalence

Since we&#;ve conflated watts and lumens, it&#;s easier to talk about bulbs in terms of watts. So if a 100-watt incandescent produces 1,500 lumens, and a 10-watt LED does the same, the 10-Watt LED may advertise &#;100-watt equivalent&#; on its label.

Here&#;s a wattage equivalence chart, but note that lumen-per-watt ratios can range mildly, even from LED to LED products.

Efficacy

The number of lumens a bulb produces for each watt it consumes. The higher the number, the more efficient the bulb. For example, lighting products that have been designated with the ENERGY STAR label are deemed high efficacy, meaning they have been determined to deliver the same features while using less energy.

The Breakdown&#;How Much Light is Enough?

Determine Room Square Footage. Multiply the length times the width of the room to get the room square footage. For example, if the room is 10 feet wide and 10 feet long, the room square footage will be 100 square feet.

Determine the Foot Candles by Room Type or Room Purpose. A foot-candle is how bright a light is one-foot away from its source. Lighting requirements/needs vary depending on the type of room being lit. For example, a bathroom or kitchen will require more foot-candles than a living room or bedroom.

Determine the Needed Lumens A lumen is a unit measurement of light. To determine the needed lumens, you will need to multiply your room square footage by your room foot-candle requirement. For example, a 50 square foot bathroom room, which needs 70-80 foot-candles, will need 3,500-4,000 lumens.

Tips:

All LED bathroom mirrors cannot be used fully for main lighting. They are functional products and are more partial to local lighting. For makeup mirrors, this brightness is sufficient, but for the entire bathroom, a conventional light source is still needed to illuminate.
