What Is This Tool?
This tool helps convert lighting measurements from meter-candle, an older SI-equivalent unit of illuminance, to foot-candle, a non-SI unit commonly used in North America. It enables easy comparison and communication between different lighting unit standards.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in meter-candle (m*c) you wish to convert.
- Select meter-candle as the source unit and foot-candle as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to see the equivalent foot-candle measurement.
- Review the converted result to apply in your lighting design or analysis.
Key Features
- Converts meter-candle (m*c) values to foot-candle (ft*c or fc) units.
- Supports understanding of lighting levels in various environments like offices and retail spaces.
- Includes clear example conversions for quick reference.
- Useful for architectural, photographic, and horticultural lighting applications.
- Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input options.
Examples
- 100 meter-candle equals 9.290304 foot-candle.
- 500 meter-candle converts to 46.45152 foot-candle.
Common Use Cases
- Specifying or comparing lighting intensity in rooms or worksurfaces.
- Translating between SI-based and North American lighting units for compliance.
- Setting exposure for photography, film production, and stage lighting.
- Managing recommended illumination levels in museums, galleries, and greenhouses.
Tips & Best Practices
- Know the context where SI units or non-SI units are preferred to avoid confusion.
- Use this tool to check lighting levels for code compliance and design accuracy.
- Verify converted values especially when precise lighting regulation adherence is required.
Limitations
- Foot-candle is a non-SI unit and might not align with international metric standards.
- The conversion factor is approximate and may involve slight rounding differences.
- Regional preferences for units could impact standardization and interpretation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a meter-candle?
- A meter-candle (m*c) is an older unit of illuminance equal to one lumen per square metre and numerically equivalent to lux.
- How does a foot-candle differ from a meter-candle?
- A foot-candle measures illuminance as lumens per square foot and is commonly used in North America, while meter-candle correlates to the SI unit lux.
- Why convert meter-candle to foot-candle?
- Conversion helps translate lighting levels between SI units and traditional North American units for compliance and clear communication.
Key Terminology
