Carl asked:


I am designing this space where we want it to be bright enough to read and dim enough for mood lighting or TV watching. This can easily be accomplished via a dimmer. The question is how do I specify to a builder the level of lighting necessary to read by in terms that I can measure. I know the spec will be in lumens or foot-candles but I don’t know the level. Also where can I find specifications like this for various applications?
