Accuracy and rounding
Illuminance measures light arriving at a surface. It is different from lumens, which describe luminous flux.
Lux is lumens per square meter; foot-candles are lumens per square foot, using the exact international foot.
Whole lux values are usually enough for room surveys; calibrated lighting work should follow the meter resolution.
How to convert kilolux to lux
- Enter the value in kilolux.
- Select kilolux as the source unit.
- Select lux as the target unit.
