Formula

The formula to calculate Lumens (lm) is:

\[ \Phi_v (\text{lm}) = I_v (\text{cd}) \times (2\pi (1 - \cos(\theta / 2))) \]

Where:

Candela to Lumen Definition

Candela (cd) is a unit of luminous intensity, representing the power emitted by a light source in a particular direction. Lumen (lm) is a unit of luminous flux, representing the total amount of light emitted by a source. The conversion from candela to lumens depends on the angle over which the light is emitted.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \Phi_v = 100 \times (2\pi (1 - \cos(30 / 2))) \]

\[ \Phi_v = 100 \times (2\pi (1 - \cos(15))) \]

\[ \Phi_v = 100 \times (2\pi (1 - 0.9659)) \]

\[ \Phi_v = 100 \times (2\pi \times 0.0341) \]

\[ \Phi_v = 100 \times 0.214 \]

The Lumens (lm) is approximately 21.4 lm.
