Luminous Intensity Converter
Light is distributed in space non-uniformly. To quantify this process and measure it, a special parameter is utilized that is called luminous intensity. The Luminous Intensity calculator knows all the units that are associated with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
The intensity characterizes the dependence of the light flow emitted by a light source on the direction of radiation. For a small source, it is measured by the light flow emitted by it inside an angle in a given direction.
The basic unit for this characteristic is the candela. One candela corresponds to a light flow of one lumen, which is evenly distributed in an angle of one steradian. Thus, the lumen/steradian unit also exists, as well as other options such as the carcel unit or bougie decimal.
For a real source of light, when determining the intensity in any direction, the light flow is measured at a small angle and divided by it.
If the intensity of the source weakly depends on the direction, then such a calculation will also be valid for large angles. Usually, this characteristic of a light source is taken as equal in all directions. This makes calculations easier.
