What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you change illuminance measurements from meter-candle [m*c], an older unit equal to lux, into centimeter-candle [cm*c], an obsolete unit mainly used in historical photometry and legacy lighting documents.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value measured in meter-candle [m*c].
- Select meter-candle as the original unit and centimeter-candle as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in centimeter-candle [cm*c].
- Review the result and use it for interpreting historical photometric data or legacy specifications.
Key Features
- Converts meter-candle to centimeter-candle units based on the defined relationship.
- Supports understanding and interpreting historical and legacy illumination data.
- Includes example conversions for practical reference.
- Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit conversions.
- Facilitates comparison of lighting measurements in older literature.
Examples
- 500 meter-candle [m*c] converts to 0.05 centimeter-candle [cm*c].
- 1000 meter-candle [m*c] converts to 0.1 centimeter-candle [cm*c].
Common Use Cases
- Interpreting or comparing room or worksurface lighting levels using legacy units.
- Converting historical photometric measurements expressed in candle-based units.
- Restoring or evaluating old lighting-design documents and optical instrument calibrations.
- Analyzing photographic lighting data and early lamp test reports in obsolete units.
Tips & Best Practices
- Understand that centimeter-candle is obsolete and values can be very large compared to meter-candle.
- Use this conversion mainly for historical or legacy data rather than modern scientific measurements.
- Verify if the candle unit equals one candela when interpreting values to avoid confusion.
- Cross-check converted values with lux measurements for clarity, as meter-candle equals lux.
Limitations
- Centimeter-candle is rarely used in modern contexts and represents very high illuminance.
- Conversion assumes the candle corresponds to one candela, which may not apply in all historical contexts.
- Results may not align with current illuminance measurement standards relying on lux.
- Best suited for legacy data interpretation, not for contemporary lighting design or scientific use.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a meter-candle [m*c]?
- A meter-candle is an older unit of illuminance equivalent to one lumen per square meter and numerically equal to the SI unit lux.
- Why convert meter-candle to centimeter-candle?
- Conversion helps interpret historical lighting data and legacy measurements that used centimeter-candle units for high illuminance near sources.
- Is centimeter-candle still used today?
- No, centimeter-candle is an obsolete unit mainly found in older literature and has been replaced by lux.
Key Terminology
- Meter-candle [m*c]
- An older illuminance unit equal to one lumen per square meter, equivalent to lux.
- Centimeter-candle [cm*c]
- An obsolete illuminance unit representing the illumination at one centimeter from a point source of one candle.
- Candela
- The SI unit of luminous intensity, representing the power emitted by a light source in a particular direction.
