Advice on Room Light for Calibration

[Jolene10]

Hi!  The room that would be best for me to work in is a 9 x 15.  I am wondering if you know what I need for the lumens bulbs for that room?

Jolene?

Yes I have read the above article and was trying to calculate what I would need from the 4 x 4m that was used as an example.  I forgot to mention the room was measured in ft.  I looked it up and from what I read is that 1 meter = 3.28084 Feet.  I am guessing around 1800 lumens.  Also I don't know if this makes a difference or not but that room has blue walls.  The ceiling is white though.

Yeah, err towards 1800 if you can.

Gee, how blue?
