Lux to Candela Calculator

Calculate Candela





Formula

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

\[ cd = lx \times d^2 \]

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, in meters.

How to calculate Candela from Lux

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ cd = 500 \times 2^2 \]

Evaluating:

\[ cd = 500 \times 4 = 2000 \]

The Candela is 2000 cd.
