Candela to Lux Calculator

Calculate Lux





Formula

The formula to calculate Lux (\(lx\)) from Candela (\(cd\)) is:

\[ lx = \frac{cd}{d^2} \]

Where:

Definition

Lux (lx) is a measure of illuminance, the total amount of visible light illuminating a point on a surface. Candela (cd) measures the luminous intensity in a specific direction.

The distance is the space between the light source and the point where the illuminance is measured.

How to calculate Lux from Candela

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ lx = \frac{100}{2^2} \]

Evaluating:

\[ lx = \frac{100}{4} = 25 \]

The Lux is 25 lx.
