Do LED lights put out enough light

11 years ago

I am looking at Moooi Raimond chandeliers. According to the information, the LED lights put out between 329 - 790 lumens. I wanted to hang six of these lights from a 20' high ceiling. I am concerned that they will not put out enough light. Can anyone shed some "light" on my dilemma?

You're correct. The chandeliers are more decorative and don't appear to intended to serve as main lighting.

The lighting may be augmented with cove lighting.

How big is the room? It won't light up a basketball court, but it would give enough ambient light for a 20' × 20' living room, depending on which size you use.

R43: 92 X LEDs, 15 watt total; 329 lumens; 2700K (included)

R61: 162 X LEDs, 25 watt total; 644 lumens; 2700K (included)

R89: 252 X LEDs, 35 watt total; 790 lumens; 2700K (included)

Here is a comparison to standard incandescent bulbs to help you visualize.
