Do you think my factory installation using high bay fittings is bad design? A single high bay fitting is not designed to light an entire factory.
No.Big room = big lights
Small room = small lights
Yes, but you probably can't help it.Simples
I thought about, and then decided not to, challenge you when you derisively suggested candles as an alternative in an earlier post.
The wattage is irrelevant
They are in a larger quantity.They're not in a much larger quantity. They're just smaller and closer together because the room is smaller.
So if you need X lights designed to light up rooms, and then you decide to use lights designed to not light them up, and therefore have to use Y of them, where Y>>X you have a much larger quantity and that's the offence.Room = lights designed to light the room, in a quantity related to the size of the room.
Room ≠ a much larger quantity than that because the lights chosen are ones designed to not light the room.
Because one big bright fitting in the middle of the room wouldn't work very well.We also use PL downlighters or recessed mods in an office. Medium sized lights in a medium sized room.
They're all exactly the same lighting scheme.
Can you explain why these installations all use lots of individual fittings to give an even spread of light rather than one big bright fitting in the middle of the room?
No, I didn't.I thought about, and then decided not to, challenge you when you derisively suggested candles as an alternative in an earlier post.
Like anyone would use wax candles to light a room up these days , you missed the point of my joke.
The wattage is irrelevant.The wattage is NOT irrelevant, you want the wattage to be as low as possible while still sufficiently lighting the room up.
Don't know.Also BAS how many lumens would you expect to be needed to light up a room 33.5 meters squared.
Only if you can show me where I have suggested the use of a light.BAS can you also give me an example of "a light what is designed to light up a room" suitable for a room the size of my kitchen.
They are in a larger quantity.They're not in a much larger quantity. They're just smaller and closer together because the room is smaller.
Please read it again.

So you use lights designed to light up rooms in a quantity related to the size of the room. Why, in these medium sized rooms, don't you use hundreds of recessed 2" diameter ones?
Only if you can show me where I have suggested the use of a light.
The ones in the factory are designed to light up rooms. 2" recessed downlighters are designed to not do that.They are no larger in quantity that the factory scheme. They are just smaller and closer together.
It's fine for both to have them as long as what they have are lights designed to light up rooms. 2" recessed downlighters are designed to not do that.Why is it ok for offices to have multiple smaller lights spread evenly across the room instead of one or two huge lights, but not for domestic homes?
No.Large room = large lights
Medium room = medium lights
Small room = small lights
Because it is not the consumption of 2" recessed torches that's the problem. It is the offence of using them to light rooms when they are designed to not do that.BAS you keep saying wattage is irrelevant, but can you justify why the wattage is irrelevant.
But it must be a light source designed to light up rooms, not one designed to not do that.As I said you want a light source/s that lights up the room to the required brightness whilst consuming the least amount of energy.
Lots here.You get what I mean; ok then show me "lights what are designed to light up a room".
It's OK - we all understand that you are clueless and ignorant of what lights are available, there is no need for you to keep demonstrating it.On a side note; would you use 2D lamps over spot lights to light up a room like my kitchen by any chance as well BAS?
WrongThey are designed to light rooms.
