What Is This Tool?
This converter enables you to translate luminous intensity measurements from the German candle, an old unit used in German-speaking regions, to the pentane candle (10 candle power), a historical unit based on pentane combustion. Both units have historical significance in early lighting and photometry before the adoption of the candela.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in candle (German) units that you wish to convert
- Select the source unit as candle (German) [c (German)] and target unit as pentane candle (10 candle power)
- Click the convert button to see the result expressed in pentane candle units
- Use the provided examples to verify your conversions
- Apply conversions to compare or interpret historical lighting data
Key Features
- Converts between two obsolete luminous intensity units used historically in 19th and early 20th centuries
- Supports interpretation of vintage lighting specifications and archival measurement data
- Browser-based, user-friendly interface for quick conversion calculations
- Provides clear examples illustrating conversion calculations
- Assists in museum curation, restoration, and historical research contexts
Examples
- 5 candle (German) equals approximately 0.5263 pentane candle (10 candle power)
- 10 candle (German) equals approximately 1.0526 pentane candle (10 candle power)
Common Use Cases
- Interpreting historic luminous intensity ratings recorded in the German candle unit
- Comparing and translating early lighting measurements to other historical candle-based units
- Supporting restoration of vintage lamps with original German candle specifications
- Documenting museum lighting equipment with authentic historical photometric data
- Conducting archival research on 19th and early 20th-century illumination technologies
Tips & Best Practices
- Double-check historical sources for unit definitions due to possible regional or temporal variations
- Use the conversion primarily for historical or archival interpretation rather than modern applications
- Combine conversions with historical context to better understand obsolete lighting standards
- Rely on examples provided to confirm calculation methods
- Document conversions clearly when citing or comparing historical luminous intensity data
Limitations
- Both candle (German) and pentane candle units are obsolete and replaced by SI candela
- Conversion accuracy may be limited by historical variations in unit definitions
- Intended for specialized or archival use, not for contemporary technical applications
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the candle (German) unit?
- It is an obsolete German luminous intensity unit based on the light from a standardized flame, historically linked to lamps like the Hefner lamp and used in German-speaking countries.
- What does pentane candle (10 candle power) measure?
- This unit measures luminous intensity from a standardized candle burning pentane, defined as 10 times the traditional candle unit and used historically before the candela was adopted.
- Why convert between these historical units?
- Conversion helps interpret and compare historic lighting specifications from different regions or periods, aiding research, restoration, and museum documentation.
- Is this conversion suitable for modern lighting?
- No, these units are obsolete and conversions are primarily for historical or archival study rather than practical modern use.
Key Terminology
- Candle (German) [c (German)]
- An obsolete German luminous intensity unit based on a standardized flame, used historically in German-speaking countries.
- Pentane candle (10 candle power)
- A historical unit measuring luminous intensity from a candle burning pentane, equal to 10 traditional candles.
- Luminous Intensity
- A measure of the amount of light emitted by a source in a given direction.
