Firstly, get your lighting put on a movement detector. You’ll be surprised how much money you will save.
Secondly, there is no regulation in the electrical standards specifying the size of lighting in ANY situation. However, the BCA has general guidance on levels of lighting for task lighting. I think the electrician is using a basic rule of thumb to ensure the light levels are adequate for a task.
Ask your electrician to work with his electrical wholesaler. They can calculate the lighting required for your space. It’s a free service the wholesalers do to sell lighting.
