I wrote this paper after spending 2 months trying to figure out the various vendors speak about lux, lumens and angles etc.
In the end the physics of it is easy. I think you need to set a budget and pick as nice lights as you can across these categories:
In the end the physics of it is easy. I think you need to set a budget and pick as nice lights as you can across these categories:
- Color Temperature (Kelvin) - for the most part they should all be the same
- Lux (How much it lights up something at a distance -you need to know which distance)
- Lumen (how bright things are near field)
- CRI for how much details (texture) you want to capture -this is where things can get expensive.
