How to Use LED Lighting Supply's Foot Candles to Lux Conversion Calculator
Input the foot candle value to convert to lux. Our tool will convert foot candles to lux using the standard conversion factor. Foot candles are a representation of the amount of light in one square foot. It is most commonly used in the United States. Lux is the representation of the amount of illuminance in one square meter. It is used worldwide. The opposing measurement will be converted for you automatically as you enter one measurement.
Manual Foot Candle to Lux Conversion Calculation:
One lux is equal to one lumen per square meter, while one foot candle is equal to one lumen per square foot. 1 square meter is equal to 10.76391 square feet. To manually convert from fc to lux, divide fc by 10.76391 using the formula below:
- lx = fc ÷ 10.76391.
Input the lux value to convert to foot candles.
Manual Lux to Foot Candle Conversion Calculation:
One foot candle is equal to one lumen per square foot, and one lux is equal to one lumen per square meter. 1 square meter is equal to 10.76391 square feet. The opposing measurement will be converted for you automatically as you enter one measurement.
To manually convert from lux to fc, multiply lux by 10.76391 using the formula below:
- fc = lx x 10.76391
Introduction to Lighting Units
Understanding lighting units is essential for anyone working with lighting designs, whether for commercial, industrial, or sports projects. Lighting levels need to be measured and compared accurately to ensure that every area receives the right amount of light for its intended use. The two most commonly used units for measuring illuminance are lux (lx) and footcandles (fc). Lux is the standard unit used worldwide, representing the amount of light falling on one square meter, while footcandles are more commonly used in the United States and measure the amount of light on one square foot.
The difference between these units is based on the area they cover. One square meter is equal to 10.76391 square feet. This relationship forms the basis for converting between lux and footcandles: one footcandle is equal to 10.76391 lux. This conversion factor allows anyone to easily convert foot-candle values to lux, or vice versa, ensuring clear communication and consistent lighting requirements across different regions.
A light meter is a valuable tool for measuring illuminance in either lux or footcandles, providing a direct reading of the light intensity in a given area. When working on a project, you may need to convert lux to footcandles or footcandles to lux to meet specific lighting standards or to compare lighting levels across different countries. Using a foot-candles converter makes this process quick and straightforward, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
