What Is This Tool?
This online converter tool enables you to convert illuminance values from meter-candle (m*c), an older unit of illuminance, to lumen per square meter (lm/m²), the modern SI standard equivalent to lux. It helps interpret and apply historical lighting data within contemporary lighting design and measurement contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in meter-candle (m*c) that you want to convert
- Select meter-candle as the input unit and lumen per square meter as the output unit
- Click the convert button to view the equivalent illuminance in lumen/square meter
- Use the result to compare or standardize lighting measurements
Key Features
- Converts meter-candle values directly to lumen/square meter with a one-to-one equivalence
- Browser-based and easy to use for quick illumination unit conversions
- Supports accurate translation of older lighting measurements to modern standards
- Useful for applications in lighting design, photography, and horticulture
Examples
- 200 meter-candle equals 200 lumen per square meter
- 500 meter-candle corresponds to 500 lumen per square meter
Common Use Cases
- Converting historical photometry data using metre-candle units to contemporary SI units
- Specifying and verifying lighting levels in offices, classrooms, and public spaces
- Calibrating and interpreting illuminance measurements for photography and display testing
- Controlling light intensity on plants in horticultural and greenhouse settings
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the unit labels when working with historical data to ensure accurate interpretation
- Use this converter to standardize lighting data before applying it to modern lighting design standards
- Consider calibration differences in measurement devices even if units are equivalent
- Apply the results to support lighting assessments in workspace, photography, and horticultural applications
Limitations
- The converter applies a direct one-to-one conversion since meter-candle and lumen per square meter are equivalent units
- Care is needed when interpreting historical illuminance data to align with modern lighting standards
- Measurement method differences and calibration variations may influence reported illuminance values
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the meter-candle unit?
- Meter-candle is an older illuminance unit equal to one lumen per square meter, representing the illuminance from a point source of one candela at one meter distance. It is numerically equivalent to the lux.
- Is there any numerical difference when converting meter-candle to lumen per square meter?
- No, converting meter-candle to lumen per square meter does not involve a numerical change because both units are equal in value.
- Why is it important to convert meter-candle to lumen per square meter?
- Conversion helps translate older illuminance measurements into the modern SI standard, ensuring accurate and standardized lighting assessment, design, and calibration of instruments.
Key Terminology
- Meter-candle [m*c]
- An older illuminance unit equal to one lumen per square meter, representing the illuminance from a one candela point source at one meter distance; equivalent to the lux.
- Lumen per square meter [lm/m^2]
- The SI derived unit of illuminance, defined as one lumen of luminous flux incident uniformly on one square meter of surface; equivalent to the lux.
- Illuminance
- The amount of visible light falling on a surface, weighted by the human eye’s photopic response.
