Luminosity (light intensity) converters translate between candela, lumens, lux, and foot-candles for lighting calculations.

ସୂତ୍ର

1 lumen = 1 cd × solid angle (steradians)

ଷ୍ଟେପ୍-ଷ୍ଟେପ୍ ଗାଇଡ୍ |

  1. 11 candela (cd) = standard light intensity unit
  2. 21 lumen = 1 cd × solid angle (steradians)
  3. 31 lux = 1 lumen/m²; 1 foot-candle = 10.764 lux

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
Desk lamp 500 lumens, distributed to 2 m² area
ଫଳ
Illumination ≈ 250 lux (good task lighting)
Typical office ~300-500 lux

  • Confusing lux with lumens (very different meanings)
  • Neglecting distance and inverse square law

ବାରମ୍ବାର ଜିଜ୍ଞାସା

Why separate lux from lumens?

Lumens = total light output (independent of area); lux = intensity at surface (lumens/area).

How does distance affect illumination?

Inverse square law: doubling distance reduces illumination 4×. Affects lamp placement.
