A 10×10-foot booth is about 3.05×3.05 metres. That floor area alone cannot tell you how many lights to buy. A single graphic wall and a booth with shelves, cabinets and a demonstration table have different lighting tasks. Plan the areas first, then confirm the fixture count with the actual equipment.
List the surfaces that need light
Mark the graphic wall, key products and working surfaces on your booth drawing. Note their width, height, finish and mounting positions. Record what the venue's existing lighting already illuminates. A cabinet shelf may need its own light even when the backwall looks bright; adding another wall light may not reach it.
Estimate positions from the chosen fixture
Ask for light-distribution data or a tested spacing recommendation at your mounting distance. Compare the illuminated surface, not just total lumens or wattage. Watts describe electrical power; lumens describe light output, but neither alone establishes even illumination on the display. Beam direction, wall distance, obstructions and surface reflections matter. A higher wall does not automatically require a 50W model.
As a layout example, you could test two positions across the backwall and a separate light for a recessed product shelf. This is a three-position trial, not a recommendation that three lamps cover every 10×10 booth. The wall may need a different number, and the shelf light may be unnecessary if existing light already meets the task. Manufacturer spacing guidance for a particular wallwasher must not be transferred to a different arm light.
Test before adding more lights
Assemble the display with actual graphics and products. Check the wall's centre, edges and lower areas from the aisle and from seated viewing positions. Re-aim or reposition lights to reduce dark patches, distracting bright spots, reflections and glare. Add a fixture where a remaining task needs it, then repeat the check. Confirm the result under expected hall lighting; photos can document the layout but do not replace viewing the display.
Check the final kit and supply
Record each light's location, compatible mount and routed cable length. Check total input load, the available supply and venue connection rules. Link fixtures only where the exact model and cables permit it, within all published limits. One outlet is not guaranteed to support every arrangement. Compare suitable models in our lighting range using the same display task.
The useful purchase quantity is the tested count that lights your priority surfaces without avoidable glare. Keep a separate decision about compatible spares; a packed spare is not another installed lighting position.
