Frequently Asked Questions

What is Illumination?

From the viewpoint of physics, illumination characterizes the ratio of the light flow to the surface area it falls on. Of course, the angle of this interaction is not only always the same but a perpendicular value is utilized as a standard one. In this case, such units as lux (lx) are used. Thus, one lux is equal to the ratio of a unit of light flow to a square meter of surface.

How to Calculate Illumination?

Furthermore, there is such an option as the lumen (lm). It is often indicated on the packages of light bulbs to make the customer understand how brightly it shines.

For UK and US products, lumens per square foot are common. The foot-candles are also popular. They characterize the illumination that a light source with a power of 1 cd provides, radiating from a distance of 1 foot from the surface.

With such different units, Illumination Conversion becomes a widespread task.
