What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert illumination measurements from nox, a unit used for very low light levels, to phot [ph], an older unit for high illumination values. It's designed to help compare lighting levels across a wide range of conditions, including night-time environments and historical lighting contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the illumination value in nox that you want to convert
- Select nox as the input unit and phot [ph] as the output unit
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in phot [ph]
- Review the result along with example conversions for better understanding
Key Features
- Converts illumination units from nox to phot [ph]
- Supports very low to very high illumination value conversions
- Provides clear definitions and use cases for both units
- Includes practical examples to illustrate conversions
- Browser-based and easy to use with no installations required
Examples
- 1000 Nox converts to 0.0001 phot [ph]
- 500,000 Nox converts to 0.05 phot [ph]
Common Use Cases
- Describing natural night illumination like moonlight or starlight in astronomy
- Planning exterior lighting with very low stray light for dark-sky preservation
- Establishing low-light test conditions for sensitive optical sensors
- Referencing high illumination in historic lighting engineering and photography
- Specifying intense indoor or studio lighting used in older technical standards
Tips & Best Practices
- Understand that nox measures extremely low light, while phot represents very bright illumination
- Use this conversion primarily to compare lighting levels across different scales
- Be aware that phot is a non-SI and now rare unit, so also consider using lux for modern purposes
- Check examples to verify conversion results before applying in technical contexts
Limitations
- Nox quantifies very low illuminance, whereas phot is for much higher levels; conversions yield very small phot values
- Phot is a non-SI and largely obsolete unit, limiting its contemporary relevance
- Measurement challenges exist when dealing with such low phot values in practice
- Modern applications prefer lux rather than phot for expressing illumination
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a nox used to measure?
- A nox measures very low illumination levels, such as natural night light including moonlight and starlight.
- Why is the phot unit less common today?
- The phot is a non‑SI unit and has become largely obsolete, with lux being the preferred standard for illumination measurement.
- How does converting nox to phot help in lighting analysis?
- It enables comparison between very low and very high illumination levels, useful in historical research, astronomy, and specialized sensor calibration.
Key Terminology
- Nox
- A historical unit measuring extremely low illumination, equal to 1 millilux (0.001 lux), often used for night-time light levels.
- Phot [ph]
- An older non-SI illuminance unit equal to 10,000 lux, used to express very high levels of illumination.
