. What does SNiP say about?
The main document, which specifies the existing standards - SNiP( construction norms and rules).So according to this document, the following standards of illumination in suites( LK) should be observed in an apartment and a private house:
- the passage of an attic and a cellar - 20;
- toilet, shower room, bathroom - 50;
- hall, corridor - 50;
- wardrobe - 75;
- bath, swimming pool - 100;
- bedroom, kitchen - 150;
- for children - 200;
- personal office, library, utility room, room with billiards - 300;
We draw your attention to the fact that in the bathroom it is possible to increase the artificial illumination to 100 LK if desired.for applying make-up and shaving to the value specified in SNiP 23-05-2010, may not be enough.
In order to understand how to translate the given figures into more familiar values, remember - 1 Suite is 1 Lumen / 1 square meter of the room. On each light bulb, a characteristic such as the light flux( in lumens, Lm) must be indicated. All you need to do is first to calculate the norm of the illumination of the living room, in your case one of the rooms, after which translate the value into Lumens and select the suitable light bulbs. Let's consider technology of calculation on an example.
We make calculations
Let's say you need to know the norm of illumination in the bedroom, the area of which is 20 m2.First of all, multiply the norm for SNiPu for this room by area, namely - 150 * 20, in total, we get 3000 Lx. Accordingly, at this value, the total luminous flux of the lamps should be 3000 lm. You only need to choose suitable light bulbs for living space, for example, if you want to choose LED lamps, you can use 3 light bulbs of 12 W, which in total will not exceed 3600 LM according to the table:
.each manufacturer of LED lamps has its own values, which you can learn already when buying. Thus, you can easily make artificial light in a room such as recommended by the norms of illumination of residential premises according to SNIP.
By the way, you can measure this value with the help of a special device - a luxometer, which is quite easy to use, which is proved by the video provided below.
That's all I wanted to tell you on this issue. We hope, now you know what lighting should be in the house and apartment and how to choose the suitable lamps in watts and lumens.
