Kilolux to foot candle

Reference table

How the conversion works

The input is converted into lx using the source factor and offset, then into foot candle. This keeps unit definitions consistent across the illuminance collection.

Definitions and sources

Factors are maintained in the versioned unit dataset. Output is rounded to your selected significant digits; calculation uses JavaScript double precision.

Accuracy and scope

Lux measures incident luminous flux per area. It cannot convert directly to lumens without area, or watts without spectral information.
