Lumen

The American National Standards Institution Lumen has been adopted world-wide. It is a standard measure of brightness in display systems. Lumens define luminous flux, a physics term for energy within the range of frequencies of visible light. For example, a wax candle generates 13 ANSI lumens; a 100 watt bulb generates 1,200 ANSI lumens.

A small room typically requires from 200 to 300 ANSI lumens, whereas a large room may require from 400 to 600. A large auditorium may need 2000 or more.
