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

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 21.59%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. 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.
