These websites seems to give lower requirement.

Especially, the wiki page says only 50 lux (lumen/sq meter) is required for living room.
- groby_b 12y agoOn the wikipedia page: "Achieving an illuminance of 500 lux might be possible in a home kitchen with a single fluorescent light fixture with an output of 12000 lumens." And I'd rather not have my living room lit at 50 lux :) But yes, original author's point well taken - if we just want a tiny bit of light, it seems much more doable.
