What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate illumination measurements from the informal unit called flame to the older unit centimeter-candle (cm*c), enabling comparisons between qualitative flame brightness and historical photometric data.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in flames you want to convert
- Select flame as your input unit and centimeter-candle [cm*c] as the output unit
- Click the convert button to see the result in centimeter-candle
- Use the output to relate informal flame brightness to historical illumination units
Key Features
- Converts illumination from flame to centimeter-candle [cm*c]
- Provides a simple interface for historical and informal lighting unit conversion
- Supports understanding of legacy and qualitative lighting descriptions
- Useful for conservation, historical photometry, and early photographic lighting analysis
Examples
- 2 Flames equals approximately 0.00861 centimeter-candle
- 5 Flames equals approximately 0.02153 centimeter-candle
Common Use Cases
- Converting informal flame brightness to a defined photometric scale for comparison
- Analyzing historical lighting and photometry data containing candle-based units
- Interpreting qualitative lighting descriptions in conservation or archaeological reports
- Restoring legacy optical or photographic lighting specifications using older units
Tips & Best Practices
- Remember the flame unit is informal and approximate for illumination
- Use this tool mainly for historical research or qualitative comparison purposes
- Avoid relying on centimeter-candle values for modern precise lighting measurements
- Consider the variability of real flame intensities when using conversions
Limitations
- Flame is not a standardized photometric unit; values are rough estimates
- Centimeter-candle is an obsolete unit replaced by lux and not used in current standards
- Variations in flame intensity based on conditions affect conversion consistency
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a flame in illumination measurement?
- A flame is an informal descriptor representing light emitted by an open combustion source like a candle or torch, used mainly for qualitative or historical descriptions.
- Why convert from flame to centimeter-candle?
- Converting flame to centimeter-candle helps relate informal or qualitative flame brightness to an older, defined illuminance unit used in historical photometry.
- Is centimeter-candle still a standard unit?
- No, centimeter-candle is an obsolete photometric unit replaced by the lux in modern measurement standards.
Key Terminology
- Flame
- An informal photometric descriptor indicating the light emitted by an open combustion source, not standardized for precise measurement.
- Centimeter-candle [cm*c]
- An obsolete unit of illuminance equal to illumination one centimetre from a one candle point source, historically used in photometry before lux.
- Illuminance
- A measure of the amount of light arriving at a surface, typically quantified in units like lux or centimeter-candle.
