What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms illumination measurements from nox, a unit representing very low light levels typical of night-time or near-dark environments, into foot-candles, a widely used unit in lighting practices across North America for specifying luminous flux per square foot.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the illumination value in nox you want to convert
- Select nox as the starting unit and foot-candle as the target unit
- Click convert to see the equivalent foot-candle value instantly
Key Features
- Converts illumination values from nox to foot-candles quickly and easily
- Supports units relevant to low-light and architectural, environmental, or stage lighting contexts
- Provides clear conversion with a precise rate for practical application
- Helps bridge specialized astronomical or environmental illuminance with common lighting standards
Examples
- 10 Nox converts to 0.00092903 Foot-candle
- 100 Nox converts to 0.0092903 Foot-candle
Common Use Cases
- Describing natural night lighting conditions like moonlight or starlight in astronomy
- Designing outdoor lighting with very low background illumination for dark-sky compliance
- Setting illumination standards for offices, retail spaces, and horticultural lighting
- Adjusting light exposure in photography, film, and stage environments
Tips & Best Practices
- Use this tool when working with very low illuminance requiring conversion to common North American lighting units
- Apply conversions to help meet building codes and lighting design criteria
- Be aware this converter links a historical unit to a practical lighting measurement used in many industries
Limitations
- Nox is designed for extremely low light levels and might not suit higher illumination ranges where foot-candle is preferred
- Since foot-candle is a non-SI unit, some rounding variations could occur when used in strictly scientific SI contexts
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does one nox represent?
- One nox is a unit of illuminance for very low light, equal to one millilux or 0.001 lux.
- Why convert nox to foot-candle?
- Converting nox to foot-candle helps express very low light levels using a unit common in North American lighting practices for easier interpretation and compliance.
- Is foot-candle an SI unit?
- No, foot-candle is a non-SI unit measuring luminous flux per square foot commonly used in certain lighting industries.
Key Terminology
- Nox
- A specialized illuminance unit representing very low light levels, equal to one millilux (0.001 lux), used in night-time and near-dark conditions.
- Foot-candle [ft*c, fc]
- A non-SI unit of illuminance equal to one lumen per square foot, commonly applied in North American lighting for measuring luminous flux incident on surfaces.
