Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a decimal candle?
- The decimal candle is a historical luminous intensity unit representing the light from a standardized candle used in 19th-century photometry before the candela.
- What is a hefner candle?
- The hefner candle is an obsolete luminous intensity unit defined by the light from a Hefner lamp burning amyl acetate, used historically in German-speaking countries.
- Why convert between decimal candle and hefner candle?
- Conversion helps translate and compare legacy lighting data and calibrate or restore antique photometric instruments referring to these historical units.
Key Terminology
- Decimal Candle
- A historical luminous intensity unit based on the light emitted from a standardized candle used in 19th-century photometry.
- Hefner Candle
- An obsolete luminous intensity unit defined by the light of a Hefner lamp burning amyl acetate, used in German-speaking countries.
- Luminous Intensity
- A measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction, historically measured in units like decimal and hefner candles.
