What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert illumination units from lumen per square centimeter to lux (lx), the SI unit of illuminance. It helps express brightness measured on very small surfaces in standard larger-scale units used in lighting design and laboratory settings.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the illumination value in lumen per square centimeter
- Select lumen/square centimeter as the input unit
- Choose lux [lx] as the desired output unit
- Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent illuminance in lux
Key Features
- Converts lumen per square centimeter, a measure suited for very small surfaces
- Outputs values in lux (lx), the SI derived unit of illuminance
- Supports unit conversion common in lighting engineering and photometry
- Browser-based and easy to use for quick illumination unit transformations
Examples
- Convert 0.5 lumen/square centimeter to lux: 0.5 × 10,000 = 5,000 lux
- Convert 2 lumen/square centimeter to lux: 2 × 10,000 = 20,000 lux
Common Use Cases
- Specifying output intensity of small high-power LEDs or LED dies
- Measuring illuminance on microscope slides or small sensor surfaces
- Calibrating brightness of small displays and optical components
- Lighting design for indoor environments like offices and classrooms
- Assessing outdoor illumination levels including daylight and sunlight
- Testing and calibration of lamps, displays, and lux meters
Tips & Best Practices
- Use lumen/square centimeter when working with very small surface areas
- Convert to lux for compatibility with standard lighting measurements and regulations
- Remember that conversion does not consider angular distribution or measurement geometry differences
- Double check units before entering values to ensure accurate conversion results
Limitations
- Lumen/square centimeter is best suited for very small surfaces; lux applies to larger areas
- Conversion does not account for geometry or angular distribution of light
- Measurements may vary due to surface size and light source characteristics
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does lumen per square centimeter measure?
- It measures the luminous flux falling on one square centimeter of surface, representing perceived brightness weighted by the human eye’s photopic response.
- Why convert lumen/square centimeter to lux?
- Converting to lux expresses illuminance on larger surfaces in standard SI units, allowing compatibility with lighting standards and calibrated instruments.
- Are there any limitations when converting these units?
- Yes, the conversion does not consider differences in measurement geometry or angular light distribution, and lumen/square centimeter applies best to very small areas.
Key Terminology
- Lumen/Square Centimeter
- A photometric measure representing luminous flux per square centimeter; conveys brightness weighted by human visual response.
- Lux [lx]
- The SI unit of illuminance equal to one lumen per square meter; measures luminous flux incident on a surface area.
- Illuminance
- The amount of luminous flux falling on a surface per unit area, corresponding to perceived brightness.
