In architectural lighting, light intensity or light output is measured to understand whether a particular light source provides enough light for an intended application. The lighting industry has well-established light level recommendations for a wide range of applications and space types. It is especially useful to understand light intensity in order to properly evaluate whether or not a space has adequate lighting conditions.
Using a light (lux) meter is the best way to measure light intensity – it gives us the ability to choose the optimal light intensity for an environment.
