Definition of illumination (E):

illumination is defined as luminous flux received by the surface per unit area. Its unit is Lux or meter-candle or lumens per m2

Therefore,

illumination (E) = Lumen/area

Where,

c.p = candle power

ω = solid angle = area/ d2

d = distance between the area and the point where the solid angle is formed

A = Area of cross-section

Applications are shown below: 

Residential places Luminous intensity (in Lux)
Kitchen 200
Bedroom 300
Dining 150
Stairs 100
Drawing hall 300
Hospital treatment room 400-500
