Getting light fixtures is a guessing game

Visualizing the right amount of light and its placement can be challenging. Often, there is a tendency to choose light fixtures based on their appearance in photos, only to find that they don't perform as expected once installed in the home.

Lumen is a tool designed to help users design lights for their own space by providing just enough of guidance and a space for creativity and inspirations.

  1. Get Started by Providing Room Dimensions and Type

    Begin by entering the room's measurements and specifying its type. For added inspiration, paint the surfaces virtually and watch as the tool fills the space with furniture and decorations, setting the stage for lighting placement.

  2. Illuminate the Space with a Diverse Selection of Lights

    Experiment with various light fixtures from our extensive collection. Position them throughout the space to see how different lighting enhance the ambiance, ensuring the final design aligns with your vision.

  3. Experience Realistic Lighting with Instant Feedback

    Lumen simulates lighting effects right in the browser, delivering immediate visual results that refine over time, allowing for quick adjustments to achieve the dream lighting atmosphere.

Shine good lights

Enough light for any space

Your room needs enough light to ensure you can navigate without bumping into things. Lumen Light Planner recommends the ideal light level for each space. Plan the lights to create a comfortable space while keeping important areas like walkways and desks well-lit.

Layer the lights

Effective lighting design involves placing lights at various levels—below, at, and above eye level—to add depth and variety. Lumen Light Planner visualizes this by plotting lights onto a graph, giving you a snapshot of how well your lighting layers are balanced.

Be mindful of focus areas

Draw attention to what matters most in the room. Highlights key zones by shining lights onto surfaces where important work will be done. Lumen Light Planner makes this easy with realistic light rendering.
