What Is This Tool?
This tool converts illumination values from foot-candle, a non-SI unit measuring luminous flux per square foot, to lumen per square centimeter, a unit measuring brightness per unit area on a smaller metric scale.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the illumination value measured in foot-candles into the input field.
- Select foot-candle as the source unit if needed.
- Choose lumen per square centimeter as the target unit.
- Activate the conversion to get the equivalent luminous flux per square centimeter.
Key Features
- Converts foot-candle values to lumen per square centimeter accurately using established conversion rates.
- Supports applications in photography, horticulture, LED brightness measurement, and laboratory photometry.
- Easy to use interface requiring just input of the foot-candle value for quick conversion.
Examples
- Converting 10 foot-candles results in 0.01076391 lumen/square centimeter.
- For 50 foot-candles, the equivalent is 0.05381955 lumen/square centimeter.
Common Use Cases
- Setting lighting levels in offices and retail according to building codes.
- Measuring exposure for photography, film, and stage lighting.
- Calibrating LED brightness for small-scale electronic components.
- Assessing illuminance on microscope slides in laboratory settings.
- Controlling recommended light intensities in museums and greenhouses.
Tips & Best Practices
- Verify unit selections before conversion to ensure accuracy.
- Be mindful of the scale difference between square feet and square centimeters when interpreting results.
- Use the tool for small-area or high-detail lighting applications where precise measurement matters.
Limitations
- Foot-candle is a non-SI unit using square feet, while lumen per square centimeter is metric and much smaller in scale.
- Conversion precision is important for measurements on very small surfaces.
- Rounding errors can impact high-accuracy illumination calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a foot-candle?
- A foot-candle is a non-SI unit of illuminance representing one lumen per square foot, commonly used in North America for lighting measurements.
- How does lumen per square centimeter relate to lux?
- One lumen per square centimeter equals 10,000 lux, reflecting the luminous flux per square meter scaled down to square centimeters.
- Why convert foot-candles to lumen per square centimeter?
- This conversion is useful for precise lighting assessments in small or detailed areas like LEDs, microscope slides, or display calibration.
Key Terminology
- Foot-candle [ft*c, fc]
- A non-SI illuminance unit equal to one lumen per square foot, used to quantify luminous flux incident on a surface.
- Lumen/square centimeter
- A photometric measure indicating luminous flux falling on one square centimeter surface area, weighted by the human eye's response.
