- Standardization differences and lamp conditions can cause uncertainties in conversion
- Conversions are primarily suited for academic or historical contexts rather than current measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the candle (UK) unit?
- It is an obsolete British unit of luminous intensity based on the light from a standardized candle, used historically in UK photometry before the candela was adopted.
- What does the hefner candle represent?
- The hefner candle is an older unit of luminous intensity defined by the light from a standardized Hefner lamp burning amyl acetate, used in German-speaking countries before the candela.
- Why convert between candle (UK) and hefner candle?
- Conversion helps interpret and compare historical lighting data from British and German sources, supporting restoration, research, and archival documentation.
