How many lumens for table lamp in my bedroom 1500 lumens or a dimmer bulb with 60W?

Why on earth would you need that much light from a single source in a bedroom? Or is it actually a multi-purpose room that is just called a bedroom?

In my bedroom I have an uplighter for general illumination that is about 700 lm, and two reading lamps that are probably less than 400 lm each, so about 1500 lm all told.

@ninalanyon yeah but its a table lamp and with the lower dimmer bulb i squint more and 1500 i can see more clearly
I would go with the 60 watt equiv for a bedside table lamp. Or less, because it's not the only light source in the room.

1500 lumens are bright for a single source of light but the amount of light you need depends on the size of the bedroom. Generally yes it is.

A general rule of thumb for enough light to see and do basic tasks is 400 lumens for small rooms, 800 lumens for medium-sized rooms, and over 1500 lumens for large rooms. In reality, the total lumens for a room with good lighting design are added to from multiple light sources and are not dependent on a single bright light source.

For example, a 1500lm total would be sufficient for a bedroom with an 800 lumen LED bulb in a ceiling light together with 2 x [b]400 lumen[/b] LED bulbs in [b]table lights[/b] on each side of the bed.[/quote]
