What Is This Tool?

This online converter transforms illumination measurements from candela steradian per square meter (cd·sr·m⁻²) into foot-candle (ft*c, fc). It enables users to switch between the SI-based lux system and the North American customary unit system for various lighting applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the illumination value in candela steradian per square meter.
  • Select the target unit as foot-candle (ft*c, fc).
  • Click the convert button to obtain the result in foot-candle units.

Key Features

  • Converts candela steradian/sq. meter to foot-candle accurately using a standard conversion rate.
  • Supports illumination measurements used in lighting design, photography, and building code compliance.
  • Offers quick and straightforward conversions suitable for both professional and personal use.

Examples

  • 5 candela steradian/sq. meter equals 0.4645152 foot-candle
  • 10 candela steradian/sq. meter equals 0.9290304 foot-candle

Common Use Cases

  • Adapting illumination levels for North American lighting design and standards.
  • Setting exposure in photography, film, and stage lighting environments.
  • Specifying and verifying light levels in offices, retail spaces, museums, and greenhouses.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Double-check unit selections before conversion to ensure accuracy.
  • Use the tool for comparing lighting requirements across different measurement systems.
  • Calibrate photometric instruments regularly for reliable illumination readings.

Limitations
