What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps you transform illumination values measured in lumen per square centimeter into the SI standard unit, lumen per square meter (lm/m²). It simplifies translating localized brightness data from small surfaces or high-power LED components into a universally recognized measurement for broader applications.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in lumen per square centimeter in the input field
- Select lumen/square centimeter as the from unit
- Choose lumen/square meter [lm/m^2] as the to unit
- Click the convert button to get the result in lumen per square meter
Key Features
- Converts between lumen/square centimeter and lumen/square meter units accurately
- Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input
- Provides practical examples for clear understanding
- Supports applications in photometry, lighting design, horticulture, and photography
Examples
- 0.5 lumen/cm² converts to 5000 lumen/m²
- 2 lumen/cm² converts to 20000 lumen/m²
Common Use Cases
- Measuring brightness intensity of small LEDs or LED dies
- Assessing illuminance on microscope slides or small sensor surfaces in labs
- Calibrating brightness of small displays and optical components
- Lighting design and standards for workspaces and public areas
- Setting exposure parameters in photography and cinematography
- Controlling light supply in horticulture and greenhouses
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure uniform illumination assumptions when converting small-area measurements
- Use this conversion to standardize localized high-intensity light values for broader analysis
- Confirm unit selections before converting to avoid misinterpretation
- Apply the tool for comparative assessments in lighting and photometric contexts
Limitations
- Uniform illumination is assumed which may not reflect uneven light distribution across larger surfaces
- Conversion applies specifically between lumen per square centimeter and lumen per square meter units only
- Does not account for spatial variations in light intensity when scaling from small to large areas
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does lumen/square centimeter measure?
- It measures illuminance as the luminous flux in lumens falling on one square centimeter of surface, reflecting perceived brightness weighted by human visual response.
- How is lumen/square meter related to lux?
- Lumen per square meter is equivalent to the lux unit, representing one lumen distributed uniformly over one square meter of surface.
- Why convert lumen/cm² to lumen/m²?
- Converting helps standardize the measurement from small, high-intensity areas to the widely recognized SI unit for broader applications like lighting design and environmental assessment.
Key Terminology
- Lumen/square centimeter
- A photometric illuminance measure representing lumens per square centimeter of surface, used for small-area brightness evaluation.
- Lumen/square meter [lm/m^2]
- The SI derived unit of illuminance equal to one lumen per square meter, synonymous with lux.
- Illuminance
- The measure of luminous flux incident on a surface area, indicating perceived brightness.
