What Is This Tool?
This tool converts illuminance values from candela steradian per square meter (cd·sr·m⁻²) to meter-candle [m*c]. Both units measure the luminous flux per unit area and are numerically equivalent to the lux, making this converter essential for consistent lighting analysis across different unit terminologies.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in candela steradian per square meter (cd·sr·m⁻²) into the input field
- Select meter-candle [m*c] as the target unit for conversion
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent value expressed in meter-candle
- Use the converted result for lighting design, calibration, or comparison purposes
Key Features
- Converts units measuring illuminance: candela steradian/sq. meter to meter-candle [m*c]
- Numerically accurate conversion as both units are equivalent to lux
- Supports lighting design, photographic calibration, and architectural illumination needs
- Browser-based and easy to use without installation
- Provides clear examples to help understand unit relationships
Examples
- 5 cd·sr·m⁻² = 5 m*c
- 10 cd·sr·m⁻² = 10 m*c
Common Use Cases
- Specifying and checking indoor lighting levels in offices and classrooms
- Assessing and designing street and outdoor lighting
- Calibrating light meters for photography and instrument testing
- Interpreting historical lighting data reported in meter-candles
- Comparing illuminance standards across different terminologies
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the units in lighting documentation to avoid confusion between candela steradian/sq. meter and meter-candle terms
- Use this tool for consistency when working with both modern and historical illuminance units
- Apply conversions when calibrating lighting instruments to ensure accurate measurements
- Refer to standards specifying units clearly to maintain compliance in lighting designs
Limitations
- Candela steradian/sq. meter and meter-candle are numerically equal as both correspond to lux, so the tool’s purpose is mainly to clarify unit terminology differences
- Users should confirm the specific units referred to in documentation to prevent misunderstandings
- This converter does not address other illuminance units beyond those mentioned
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are candela steradian/sq. meter and meter-candle different units?
- They represent the same illuminance quantity and are numerically equivalent to lux, but come from different historical and terminological contexts.
- Why should I convert between these two units if they are equal?
- Conversion helps ensure clarity and consistency when working with lighting data from different sources or time periods that may use either term.
- Can this tool be used for other illuminance unit conversions?
- This converter specifically converts between candela steradian per square meter and meter-candle only.
Key Terminology
- Candela steradian/sq. meter
- A unit measuring illuminance equivalent to one lumen per square meter, commonly used in lighting engineering.
- Meter-candle [m*c]
- An older illuminance unit equal to one lumen per square meter, representing illuminance produced by a one candela point source at one meter.
- Lux
- The SI unit of illuminance, defined as one lumen per square meter.
