## Electrical guides
- [How much light does a room need? Lux and lumens by room](https://samaksh.group/learn/how-much-light-does-a-room-need): Light homes to roughly 100–200 lux in bedrooms and living rooms, 200–300 lux in kitchens (up to 500 lux on the worktop) and 300–500 lux for study and office areas. To size the lights: lumens needed ≈ target lux × floor area in m² ÷ 0.5. A 12 × 12 ft bedroom (13.4 m²) at 150 lux needs about 4,000 lumens from its fittings.
- [Warm white vs neutral white vs cool white: which LED colour for which room?](https://samaksh.group/learn/warm-white-vs-cool-white): Use warm white (2700–3000K) for bedrooms, living and dining rooms; neutral white (around 4000K) for kitchens, bathrooms, study rooms, offices and shops; and cool white or daylight (5700–6500K) for utility areas, warehouses and outdoor security lighting. Keep one colour temperature within a room so it looks consistent.
- [COB vs SMD LED: what's the difference?](https://samaksh.group/learn/cob-vs-smd-led): A COB (chip-on-board) LED packs many LED chips into one small light-emitting surface, giving a single, focused beam with one clean shadow — ideal for downlights, spotlights and accent lighting. SMD (surface-mounted device) LEDs are individual packages spread across a board, giving wide, even light — ideal for bulbs, panels, battens and strip lights.
- [B22 vs E27 bulb base: which one does India use?](https://samaksh.group/learn/b22-vs-e27): B22 is a 22 mm bayonet cap with two side pins that you push in and twist — it's the standard holder in most Indian homes. E27 is a 27 mm Edison screw cap, common in decorative fittings and imported lamps. They are not interchangeable without an adapter, so check your holder before buying.
- [IP ratings explained: IP20, IP44, IP65, IP66, IP67](https://samaksh.group/learn/ip-ratings-explained): An IP (Ingress Protection) rating has two digits: the first is protection against solids and dust (0–6), the second against water (0–9). Use IP20 indoors, IP44 or higher in bathrooms and covered balconies, IP65 or higher for lights exposed to rain such as flood lights, gate lights and street lights, and IP66–IP67 where there are strong water jets or temporary flooding.
- [Ceiling fan size guide: which sweep for which room?](https://samaksh.group/learn/ceiling-fan-size-guide): A 1200 mm (48-inch) ceiling fan suits most Indian bedrooms and living rooms of about 120–175 sq ft (roughly 10 × 12 to 12 × 14 ft). Use 900–1050 mm for rooms under about 100 sq ft, and 1400 mm — or two fans — for rooms above about 175–200 sq ft. Mount the blades about 2.4–2.7 m (8–9 ft) above the floor.
- [Water heater (geyser) size guide: 3, 6, 10, 15 or 25 litres?](https://samaksh.group/learn/water-heater-size-guide): Use an instant water heater (1–3 litres) for a kitchen tap, a 6–10 litre storage heater for a bathroom used by one or two people, 15 litres for a family of three or four, and 25 litres or more for larger families, rain showers or bathtubs. In cold regions like Uttarakhand, choose the next size up because the incoming water is colder.
- [MCB vs RCCB vs RCBO: what's the difference, and which do you need?](https://samaksh.group/learn/mcb-vs-rccb-vs-rcbo): An MCB (miniature circuit breaker) protects wiring from overload and short circuit. An RCCB (residual current circuit breaker) protects people from electric shock and reduces fire risk by tripping when current leaks to earth — typically at 30 mA — but it does not protect against overload or short circuit. An RCBO does both in one device. Most homes need an RCCB plus an MCB on every circuit.
- [Modular vs non-modular switches: which should you choose?](https://samaksh.group/learn/modular-vs-non-modular-switches): Modular switches clip into a plate mounted on a concealed box, so you can mix switches, sockets, regulators and USB modules and replace any one later — they're the standard for new homes and offices. Non-modular (conventional or piano-type) switches mount on a switchboard sheet and cost less, which suits budget rewiring and utility areas.
- [Which wire size for house wiring? 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4 and 6 sq mm explained](https://samaksh.group/learn/wire-size-guide): In Indian homes, 1.5 sq mm copper wire is typically used for lights and fans, 2.5 sq mm for general sockets, 4 sq mm for heavy loads such as air conditioners and water heaters, and 6–10 sq mm for the main supply depending on the total connected load. Use multi-strand copper with FR or FR-LSH insulation, and size every circuit with its MCB following IS 732.
- [PVC conduit pipe guide: light, medium or heavy gauge? 20 mm or 25 mm?](https://samaksh.group/learn/pvc-conduit-pipe-guide): Use medium-gauge (MMS) rigid PVC conduit for most concealed wiring in walls, heavy-gauge (HMS) inside concrete slabs and floors or wherever it could be crushed, and light gauge only for low-risk surface runs. 20 mm conduit suits switchboard drops and lighting circuits; 25 mm suits main runs and circuits with more wires. Don't fill a conduit beyond about 40% of its internal area.
