What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to convert illumination measurements from meter-candle [m*c], an older unit equivalent to lux, to nox, a specialized unit used for very low light levels. It helps translate standard lighting values into precise measurements for dim environments.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the illuminance value in meter-candle [m*c].
- Select meter-candle [m*c] as the input unit.
- Choose nox as the output unit for low light measurements.
- Press convert to obtain the equivalent value in nox.
Key Features
- Converts meter-candle [m*c] to nox accurately based on defined conversion rates.
- Supports lighting measurements relevant to both standard and very low illumination levels.
- Useful for applications in astronomy, environmental science, and optical sensor testing.
- Browser-based and easy to use without the need for complex calculations.
Examples
- 5 m*c converts to 5000 nox by multiplying 5 by 1000.
- 0.2 m*c converts to 200 nox by multiplying 0.2 by 1000.
Common Use Cases
- Comparing or specifying room or worksurface lighting with meter-candle values.
- Interpreting historical lighting literature using meter-candle terminology.
- Measuring very low natural night illumination like moonlight and starlight with nox.
- Designing exterior lighting that minimizes stray or background light using nox.
- Testing low-light conditions for sensitive optical instruments.
Tips & Best Practices
- Use meter-candle units when dealing with typical lighting levels like office illumination.
- Switch to nox units to measure very low or night-time ambient light environments.
- Remember the equivalence of 1 m*c to 1000 nox for straightforward conversions.
- Confirm your lighting context to select the appropriate unit for clarity and precision.
Limitations
- The nox unit is intended for very low illuminance and may produce large numbers if converting from high meter-candle values.
- The equivalence between meter-candle and lux assumes standard conditions that may not apply to all lighting situations.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between meter-candle and nox?
- Meter-candle is an older unit equivalent to lux measuring standard illuminance, while nox is a specialized unit for very low illuminance levels used in near-dark conditions.
- Why convert meter-candle to nox?
- Converting from meter-candle to nox helps quantify very low light conditions such as natural night illumination, which meter-candle values are too large to describe accurately.
- Is 1 meter-candle equal to 1 lux?
- Yes, meter-candle is numerically equivalent to the SI unit lux, representing illuminance of one lumen per square meter.
Key Terminology
- Meter-candle [m*c]
- An older unit of illuminance equal to one lumen per square metre, equivalent to lux, indicating the light on a surface from a point source of one candela at one metre.
- Nox
- A specialized unit of illuminance equal to one millilux (0.001 lux), used to measure very low light levels such as moonlight or stray lighting in dark environments.
