What Is This Tool?
This tool converts illumination values from the obsolete unit centimeter-candle (cm*c) to the nox, a unit measuring very low light levels. It assists in interpreting historical lighting data and specialized environmental or astronomical illumination measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the illumination value in centimeter-candle (cm*c)
- Select the target unit as nox
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent illumination in nox
- Review the results and use them for your lighting data analysis or comparisons
Key Features
- Converts between centimeter-candle and nox illumination units
- Supports analysis of historical photometry and legacy lighting data
- Facilitates comparison of high illuminance with very low ambient light measurements
- Provides clear examples for practical understanding
- Browser-based and easy to use without installations
Examples
- 0.5 centimeter-candle equals 5,000,000 nox
- 2 centimeter-candles equals 20,000,000 nox
Common Use Cases
- Interpreting historical photometric measurements expressed in candle-based units
- Analyzing legacy optical instrument or photographic lighting data predating lux
- Studying astronomical or environmental low-light conditions using nox
- Designing dark-sky friendly exterior lighting with low stray illumination levels
- Testing low-illumination conditions for sensitive optical or imaging sensors
Tips & Best Practices
- Use the tool to convert legacy illumination data for better comparison with modern units
- Apply the conversion when analyzing lighting conditions ranging from intense near-source brightness to very low ambient environments
- Consider the large numeric difference between units when interpreting results
- Use the conversion primarily for historical data interpretation and specialized scientific contexts
- Consult updated photometric standards when working with current illumination measurements
Limitations
- Centimeter-candle is an outdated unit and not common in contemporary usage
- Conversion involves very large numbers due to scale differences between high and low illuminance units
- Limited to historical data analysis, specialized research, and niche applications
- Not suitable for everyday illumination conversions which use lux or other modern units
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a centimeter-candle?
- A centimeter-candle (cm*c) is an old illumination unit representing the light on a surface one centimetre from a one-candle point source; it has been replaced by the lux unit.
- What does the nox unit measure?
- Nox is a unit used to describe very low light levels, equal to one millilux, often applied in night-time or near-dark lighting conditions.
- Why convert from centimeter-candle to nox?
- This conversion helps translate historical high illuminance values near light sources into very low light units for comparison or analysis in environmental or optical studies.
Key Terminology
- Centimeter-candle (cm*c)
- An obsolete illuminance unit indicating the light level at one centimetre distance from a one candle source.
- Nox
- A unit of illuminance equal to one millilux, used to quantify very low ambient light levels.
- Illuminance
- A measure of the amount of light falling on a surface, typically expressed in units like lux or nox.
