About Workspace Lux
Practical lighting calculators and guides for offices, desks, studios, and modern workspaces — without complex lighting design software.
Our purpose
Workspace Lux helps English-speaking users plan workspace lighting with clear numbers: how bright a room or desk should be (lux), how much light output to shop for (lumens), roughly how much LED power that implies (watts), and which color temperature fits the task. We built the site for home office workers, small business owners, facility managers, and designers who need a fast baseline before buying fixtures or talking to a contractor.
Who we serve
Our tools target everyday workspace scenarios — open offices, meeting rooms, home desks, coworking areas, design studios, and video-call setups. We focus on the questions people actually search: “How many lumens for a 20 m² office?”, “What lux for desk work?”, “3000K or 4000K for home office?” Each calculator page includes explanations, examples, and FAQs so results are understandable, not just a number on screen.
How calculations work
Formulas live in a shared library and run entirely in your browser. No accounts, no stored history, no server-side processing of your inputs. Office and desk calculators combine room or desk area with target lux to estimate lumens; lumens-to-watts uses LED efficacy presets you can adjust. Color temperature recommendations come from curated presets aligned with common practice, not from a black-box AI model.
Estimates, not engineering sign-off
Results are simplified planning estimates. Real projects depend on fixture photometrics, ceiling height, surface reflectance, glare control, daylight contribution, controls, and local codes. Workspace Lux is not a substitute for qualified lighting design or electrical engineering. Use our output to compare options and prepare questions for professionals — not as a final specification.
