Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Hefner candle unit?
- The Hefner candle is an outdated German unit of luminous intensity based on a standardized lamp burning amyl acetate, used before the candela became the standard.
- Why convert Hefner candle to Bougie decimal?
- Converting between these units helps in interpreting and comparing historical luminous intensity measurements from German-speaking and French sources during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
- Can I use this conversion for modern lighting design?
- No, both units are obsolete and have been replaced by the candela; this tool is intended for historical and archival research only.
Key Terminology
- Hefner candle
- An obsolete unit of luminous intensity from German-speaking countries, defined by light emitted from a Hefner lamp burning amyl acetate.
- Bougie decimal
- A historical French unit of luminous intensity used during 19th–early 20th century metrication efforts, now replaced by the candela.
- Luminous intensity
- A measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction, relevant to human visual perception.
