1You will need room measurements including ceiling heights, plus door and window locations. If your plan is for a kitchen or
bath, creating a cabinet layout is bene cial. If you are replacing outdoor lights, know the location
of the electrical box and the space around it. Use dimensions relative to the center of the box, top and bottom, left and right. This way, you can get the correctly sized xture for the space.
2Lighting makes a space function better. Knowing how and who is using the space is an important part of getting the best
lighting layout.

TIP: It is a good idea to bring pictures of your space. The extra time spent planning in the beginning assures that you can get the most out of the space you are in.
