Length x Width = square/ft

10 x 10 is 100 sq/ft
10 x 10 x 10 is 1000 cubic feet

you want to acheive lumens per square foot.

Sometimes I wonder... Just how high *are* some people who post here lol. I am truely completely amazed I am reading a thread that has become an explanation of exponents and physics... And to think almost none of my friends ever thought algebra, math, and science would apply in the real world hahaha...
