What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps you change illumination measurements from meter-candle [m*c] to lumen per square centimeter. It is useful for expressing light intensity on smaller surfaces, particularly in fields like optical engineering, microscopy, and LED technology.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in meter-candle [m*c] that you want to convert.
- Select meter-candle [m*c] as the input unit and lumen per square centimeter as the output unit.
- Click on the convert button to get the result displayed instantly.
- Review the converted value to use in your specific illumination context.
Key Features
- Converts meter-candle [m*c], an older illuminance unit equal to lux, to lumen/square centimeter.
- Uses a straightforward formula based on the fixed conversion rate: 1 m*c = 0.0001 lumen/cm².
- Ideal for applications requiring illumination expressed on small surface areas.
- Browser-based and easy to use without needing specialized software.
Examples
- 300 meter-candles [m*c] converts to 0.03 lumen/square centimeter.
- 500 meter-candles [m*c] converts to 0.05 lumen/square centimeter.
Common Use Cases
- Determining illuminance for small high‑power LEDs and LED dies.
- Measuring light on microscope slides or tiny sensor surfaces in laboratory settings.
- Calibrating brightness levels of small displays and optical components.
Tips & Best Practices
- Remember that meter-candle measures illuminance over larger surfaces compared to lumen/cm², so consider the scale differences.
- Use this converter for applications where illumination on a micro-scale is critical.
- Cross-check units when comparing data from different lighting standards to maintain accuracy.
- Understand the measurement geometry and spectral weighting when interpreting results.
Limitations
- Lumen per square centimeter is for much smaller surface areas than meter-candle, so direct scaling interpretations may be misleading.
- Variations in measurement geometry and spectral sensitivity can impact the accuracy of conversions.
- The converter does not account for complex lighting conditions or spectral differences.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a meter-candle [m*c]?
- Meter-candle [m*c] is an older unit of illuminance equal to one lumen per square meter, numerically equivalent to the SI unit lux.
- How does lumen per square centimeter relate to lux?
- One lumen per square centimeter equals 10,000 lux, measuring illuminance over a much smaller area.
- Why convert meter-candle to lumen per square centimeter?
- This conversion is useful when expressing illumination intensity on very small surfaces, such as LEDs, microscope slides, or tiny sensors.
Key Terminology
- Meter-candle [m*c]
- An older illuminance unit equal to one lumen per square meter, equivalent to lux.
- Lumen per square centimeter
- A measure of illuminance showing luminous flux per square centimeter, useful for small-area brightness measurements.
- Illuminance
- The amount of luminous flux incident on a surface per unit area, indicating perceived surface brightness.
