Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the candle (UK) unit?
- Candle (UK) is an obsolete British unit of luminous intensity based on the light from a standardised candle used historically before the candela.
- What is the bougie decimal?
- The bougie decimal is an obsolete French luminous intensity unit historically used during metrication efforts, now replaced by the candela.
- Why convert between candle (UK) and bougie decimal?
- Conversion helps reconcile historical British and French luminous intensity measurements for archival research and restoration of period lighting.
Key Terminology
- Candle (UK)
- An obsolete British luminous intensity unit defined by a standardised candle used before the candela.
- Bougie decimal
