Demystifying Foot-Candles and Lux: Illuminating the Nuances of Light Measurement
In the realm of illumination, two fundamental units of measurement govern the intensity of light: foot-candles (fc) and lux (lx). While both units quantify the amount of light falling on a surface, they stem from different measurement systems and differ in their application and conversion factor. Understanding the distinction between foot-candles and lux is crucial for accurately measuring and interpreting light levels in various settings. Foot-Candles: An Imperial Unit of Light Intensity Foot-candles, abbreviated as fc, represent the imperial unit of illuminance....
