Calculate Nits





Formula

The formula to calculate the Nits (N) from Lux (L) and Area (A) is:

\[ N = \frac{L}{A} \]

Where:

Definition

Nits is a unit of luminance, measuring the brightness of a surface.

Lux is a unit of illuminance, measuring the amount of light that hits a surface.

Area is the surface area over which the illuminance is measured.
