How many watts should the power be in facade lighting?

Actually the question is "How many lumens should the light intensity be in facade lighting?" should be in the form of ". Because the main value in light intensity is Lumen. For example, the light intensity of one of the 2 lighting products with the same Watt power may be higher than the other. Therefore, the main detail in the light level should be the Lumen value.

As for our question, there is no single answer to this question. Because the location of the building is very important here. For example, there is no harm in terms of light intensity in terms of light intensity in a linear lighting that you apply around the roof of a high building in a high position. The only negative factor is the electricity bill. However, in a low-rise building or villa where there are other buildings, living spaces or residences opposite, lower wattage and lumens should be selected. Because excessive light disturbs the other person.
