I wish I had more I could contribute to this conversation other than "I use lights yayyy!"

Ditto.

This is reminding me how little actual engineering I've been doing at my current job. I'm mostly doing high level analysis and triage.

Doing some invoicing stuff for one of my projects.  And taking a look at some data - we did some groundwater injections at my site that haven't been very successful.

Ok, if you have a 96 sq ft office and you're forced to use 3200 lumen 2x2 fixtures, how many would you try to cram into this space?

I'd try to cram in ALL THE LIGHTS because lights are great! Yay!  Lights are awesome!

ALL OF THEM

Ok you had the same answer I did, this must mean I should be an EE now!  Look out world!

LOL.  Well some people like to use 40 lumens per square foot for an office space.  The engineer is showing 4 fixtures, which is way overkill.  2 would be plenty I think.

I like bluebeam. 

I don't like staring at computer screens

Yeah, I agree, 4 is overkill!  WHY NOT TRY ONE. JUST ONE LIGHT

 

[txjennah PE]

ONE LIGHT FOR THE ENTIRE OFFICE

OR HALF A LIGHT

He's figuring out where in one of your backyards to bury one of these:

Oh I know. I had a like 20x30ft control house a few years and we had 3 rows of 4ft long fixtures with 4ft between them so it ended up being like 12 fixtures. Your standard T8 bulbs and then each control cabinet also had a 1ft CFL inside. Well they had us double the overhead lighting. and it was already pretty decent and well over standard for foot-candles. you'd have issues if your head was in the cabinet towards the bottom but the electricians wear headlamps for that regardlesss. it was so effing bright in there with the extra fixtures. because everything was also ANSI 70 gray so...

One would be too assymetrical for the space.  Most people complain about not having enough light.  You hardly ever hear someone complain about too much light, so I"m going to suggest 2.  4 is still way overkill.

Ask @RBHeadge PE but he won't tell.

did you know in Maine, with a permit, you can bury someone in your backyard?

it's become a running joke with my best friend and I. I told her that I wasn't burying her near my well tho so I hope she didn't have wishes to be buried by water

I wanna find the builders for my house who thought that putting two lights downstairs is acceptable.

And by two lights, I mean - one by the front door, and then one in the kitchen.  If you wanted a light in your dining room and living room, then screw you!!!!  Time to go to Target and furnish your space with a bunch of lamps like a college student!
