Formula and example
How it is calculated
Converted value = original value × source factor / target factor
Worked example
1 foot-candle = 10.76391042 lux (lx).
Things to check
- Lux describes luminous flux per area. One foot-candle is one lumen per square foot. Luminous intensity and illuminance are separate quantities.
- Rounding is applied only to displayed results. Very small or very large values may appear in scientific notation.
