We're using maxwell with IES files to design room lighting.

Is there a standard exposure setting that relates to the human experience (in the absence of sunlight) that would help determine if we have enough lights in the room? By adjusting the exposure we can get reasonable renders regardless of how many light fixtures I install. We're trying to get a sense of the brightness as a person would experience the lighting when standing in the room.
