Enter the total number of lumens and the total area of a room into the calculator to determine the lumens per square foot.

Lumens Per Square Foot Formula

LPSF = TL / A
  • Where LPSF is the lumens per square foot
  • TL is the total number of lumens
  • A is the room area (ft^2)

To calculate the lumens per square foot, divide the total number of lumens by the room area.

Lumens Definition

A lumen is a unit of measure that describes a luminous flux or in other words the light emitted per second.
