What Is This Tool?
This unit converter tool transforms illumination measurements from centimeter-candle to foot-candle. It assists users in translating outdated point-source based lighting data into a unit widely used in North American lighting practices.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the illumination value in centimeter-candle.
- Select centimeter-candle as the input unit and foot-candle as the output unit.
- Click convert to receive the equivalent foot-candle value.
Key Features
- Converts obsolete centimeter-candle values to foot-candle units.
- Provides quick translation of historical photometric numbers into modern measurement standards.
- Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
- Supports lighting design, photography, museum, and horticultural applications.
Examples
- 1 centimeter-candle equals approximately 929.03 foot-candle.
- 0.5 centimeter-candle converts to about 464.52 foot-candle.
Common Use Cases
- Interpreting historic lighting data expressed in candle-based units.
- Setting lighting levels for photography, film production, and stage lighting.
- Determining lighting conditions in museums, galleries, and greenhouses.
- Converting obsolete illuminance units in lighting design and research.
Tips & Best Practices
- Use the tool to understand legacy lighting specifications in modern terms.
- Double-check the context of historical data since measurement conditions may vary.
- Apply the converted values for practical lighting scenarios requiring foot-candle measurements.
- Be aware of differences in unit definitions when analyzing very high illuminance levels.
Limitations
- Centimeter-candle is an obsolete unit and seldom used today.
- Conversion results may be approximate due to variations in historical measurement standards.
- Foot-candle measures illuminance per square foot, potentially differing from point-source illumination assumptions in centimeter-candle.
- Legacy data may have inconsistencies affecting conversion accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a centimeter-candle?
- It is an obsolete illuminance unit measuring light on a surface one centimetre from a point-source candle, historically used in photometry.
- Why convert centimeter-candle to foot-candle?
- To translate historical or obsolete illumination values into foot-candle, a unit commonly used in North American lighting and practical applications.
- Is the conversion exact for all lighting measurements?
- No, differences in source definitions and historical conditions may cause approximate conversion results.
Key Terminology
- Centimeter-candle [cm*c]
- An obsolete illumination unit representing light intensity at one centimetre from a point candle source, historically used in photometry.
- Foot-candle [ft*c, fc]
- A non-SI illuminance unit equal to one lumen per square foot, widely applied in North American lighting measurements.
- Illuminance
- The measure of luminous flux incident on a surface area, determining how much light falls on that surface.
