This in a kitchen/dining area of maybe a little over 200 sq. ft. (10 x 21ish). Presently have 4 flourescent troffers with standard 2 40w lamps each, mounted in the drop ceiling. Pic is attached. Want to convert over to LED troffers. I would not want any more brightness than I do now, and slightly less would be OK.
I was reading up on 3k and 4k lumen LED fixtures, and it sound like they are quite bright. Originally I was going to replace each of my 4 flour. units with an LED fixture. In the exact same locations. Now I'm wondering if I could get away with just 2 or 3 LED troffers of 3-4k lumens each, and in which drop ceiling locations, to roughly replicate the lighting I have now. A little less brightness is OK, and am convinced that 4 LED units might be too much. So... maybe 2 or 3 LED troffers, and what locations in drop ceiling?
Thanks for any assistance!
Added: Had a good pic of ceiling and present fixtures, but site won't let me upload them . "File too large." Really? One pic of a drop ceiling with 4 fixtures. Wonder what CAN be uploaded??
