Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a decimal candle unit?
- The decimal candle is a historical luminous intensity unit defined by the light emitted from a standardized candle under specified conditions, used mainly in 19th-century photometry.
- What does pentane candle (10 candle power) represent?
- It is a historical luminous intensity unit based on a standard candle burning pentane, equal to 10 traditional candle power.
- Why convert between decimal candle and pentane candle?
- To translate and interpret lighting data and photometric measures from different historical standards before the adoption of the SI candela.
Key Terminology
- Decimal candle
- A 19th-century unit of luminous intensity defined by a standardized candle’s light, used prior to the candela.
- Pentane candle (10 candle power)
- A historical luminous intensity unit based on a candle burning pentane, equal to ten times the traditional candle unit.
- Luminous intensity
- The measure of the brightness of a light source as perceived by the human eye.
