Common Use Cases
- Decoding and comparing luminous intensities in pre-SI lighting standards
- Analyzing historical photometric data and lamp specifications
- Museum lighting calibrations requiring period-accurate illumination
- Educational demonstrations on historical light measurement units
Tips & Best Practices
- Use this conversion primarily for historical or legacy lighting analysis
- Refer to original documentation when available for context on unit definitions
- Apply results carefully when engaging in conservation or museum lighting work
- Recognize that modern applications prefer SI candela units for precision
Limitations
- Units are outdated and may vary slightly according to original definitions and equipment
- Conversion precision is limited due to lack of standardized modern reference
- Not suitable for contemporary scientific or engineering luminous intensity measurements
- Intended mainly for historical study, legacy data interpretation, and education
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why are candle (international) and candle (pentane) considered obsolete?
- Both units were used historically before the adoption of the SI candela and are no longer standard; their values can vary depending on old equipment and definitions.
- Can this conversion be used for modern lighting measurements?
- No, these units are intended for historical or legacy analysis, not for precise modern photometric applications.
- What is the exact conversion rate between candle (international) and candle (pentane)?
- The conversion is exactly 1 candle (international) equals 1 candle (pentane).
Key Terminology
- Candle (international)
- A former photometric unit representing luminous intensity based on a specified standard lamp, now obsolete and used mainly in older literature.
- Candle (pentane)
- An old non-SI unit of luminous intensity derived from a pentane flame standard, used in early photometry before being replaced by the candela.
- Luminous Intensity
- A measure of the amount of light emitted by a source in a particular direction.
