Examples
- 2 lumen/square centimeter converts to 1858.0608 foot-candle [ft*c, fc].
- 0.5 lumen/square centimeter converts to 464.5152 foot-candle [ft*c, fc].
Common Use Cases
- Determining intensity of small high-power LEDs or LED dies.
- Measuring illuminance on microscope slides and small sensors.
- Setting lighting levels for offices, retail spaces, and building compliance.
- Adjusting exposure in photography, film, and stage lighting setups.
- Managing recommended light conditions in museums, galleries, and greenhouses.
Tips & Best Practices
- Verify unit selection carefully before converting to avoid errors.
- Use this conversion when working between precise lab measurements and practical lighting standards.
- Remember that foot-candle is more suitable for larger areas, while lumen/cm² is for very small surfaces.
- Account for the large scaling factor during conversion to maintain accuracy.
- Consider local lighting regulations and standards when interpreting results.
Limitations
- Lumen/square centimeter is designed for very small, localized lighting measurements only.
- Foot-candle is a non-SI unit and may lead to confusion outside North America or in scientific contexts favoring lux.
- The large conversion scale requires careful handling to maintain precision.
- This converter does not provide formulas or deeper scientific explanations beyond the conversion rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does lumen per square centimeter measure?
- It measures the luminous flux (lumens) per square centimeter incident on a surface, indicating perceived brightness weighted by the human eye’s response.
- Where is foot-candle commonly used?
- Foot-candle is widely used in North American lighting practice for specifying lighting levels in workplaces, retail, photography, and environmental controls.
- Can I use this converter for very large surfaces?
- Foot-candle is more suitable for larger surface areas, while lumen per square centimeter is best for very small and localized light measurements.
Key Terminology
- Lumen per Square Centimeter
- A measure of illuminance expressing luminous flux per square centimeter of surface, highlighting perceived brightness based on the human eye's response.
- Foot-candle [ft*c, fc]
- A non-SI unit of illuminance representing one lumen per square foot, commonly used in North American lighting specifications.
