HDB lighting: Key measurements for balanced illumination

Aim for 150-300 lux for general lighting, which can be achieved with a combination of ceiling lights and lamps.

The CRI (Color Rendering Index) is usually indicated on the light bulb packaging. Look for a CRI of 80 or higher for accurate color representation.

Opt for warm white light with a colour temperature of 2700K to 3000K for a relaxing and cozy atmosphere.

Use a combination of overhead lighting, under-cabinet lights, and task lighting to eliminate shadows and ensure even illumination across countertops and work areas.

A light level of 400-500 lux is recommended for HDB study rooms.
