What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you switch between meter-candle and lumen per square foot units, essential for comparing and designing lighting systems in varying measurement standards.
How to Use This Tool?
- Input the value in meter-candle units you want to convert.
- Select meter-candle as the input unit and lumen/square foot as the output unit.
- Click convert to view the equivalent illumination level in lumen/square foot.
Key Features
- Converts meter-candle [m*c] to lumen/square foot [lm/ft^2] with a clear, standardized rate.
- Supports lighting design measures for office, retail, and specialized environments.
- Browser-based and easy to use without complex input requirements.
Examples
- 100 meter-candle equals 9.290304 lumen/square foot.
- 500 meter-candle equals 46.45152 lumen/square foot.
Common Use Cases
- Comparing lighting levels from metric-based meter-candle to imperial lumen/square foot units.
- Designing and verifying illuminance in offices, classrooms, and retail spaces.
- Adjusting lighting for photography, stage production, and horticultural growth environments.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure unit consistency when specifying lighting levels for compliance or design.
- Remember the meter-candle equals one lux and conversion reflects surface area differences.
- Use this converter to support historical or mixed-unit illuminance data interpretation.
Limitations
- Conversion differences arise due to varying surface area bases (square metre vs. square foot).
- Meter-candle usage is less common today compared to lux; consider modern preferences.
- Uniform lighting assumptions may affect precision in some measurement scenarios.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is meter-candle [m*c]?
- Meter-candle is an older unit of illuminance equal to one lumen per square metre and is numerically the same as a lux.
- What does lumen per square foot [lm/ft^2] measure?
- It measures illuminance as luminous flux on a one-square-foot surface and is equivalent to the foot-candle.
- Why convert meter-candle to lumen/square foot?
- To reconcile illuminance measurements between metric systems and imperial units commonly used in lighting design and verification.
Key Terminology
- Meter-candle [m*c]
- An older illuminance unit equal to one lumen per square metre, numerically equivalent to lux.
- Lumen/square foot [lm/ft^2]
- An illuminance unit measuring luminous flux on one square foot, synonymous with foot-candle.
- Illuminance
- The amount of luminous flux incident per unit area on a surface.
