Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.

The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you’ll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
