Lumen to Lux Calculator

Calculate Lux





Formula

The formula to calculate Lux (\(lx\)) from Lumens (\(lm\)) is:

\[ lx = \frac{lm}{A} \]

Where:

Definition

Lux (lx) is a measure of illuminance, the total amount of visible light illuminating a point on a surface. Lumens (lm) measure the total amount of visible light emitted by a source.

The area is the surface over which the light is spread, measured in square meters.

How to calculate Lux from Lumens

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ lx = \frac{1000}{10} \]

Evaluating:

\[ lx = 100 \]

The Lux is 100 lx.
