Whether the lamp can obtain the appropriate illuminance value should be evaluated according to the light intensity of the point under the lamp. Therefore, when installing, the lamp should be illuminated according to the height ratio. The illuminance value of the adjacent two lamps is close to the illuminance of the lamp. In fact, the so-called illuminance under the lamp is the estimated level of the average indoor illuminance.
