Important notes

Emergency and exit lighting are separate scopes and are not covered by this normal-lighting estimate.
Australian residential guidance and any AS/NZS 1680 application require current, task-specific review; this result is not an automatic compliance claim.

Formulas

\(\displaystyle A = L \times W\)
\(\displaystyle \Phi = \frac{E \times A}{UF \times MF}\)
Emergency lighting, handrails, stair geometry, controls, and visibility require separate review.

Estimate path lighting quantities from hallway geometry, target illuminance, and spacing assumptions.

Hallway and Stair Lighting Planner is a planning aid. Keep the target source, product data, measurement method, and project assumptions with the result. Confirm compliance, installation, certification, and safety decisions with the responsible professional.
