Formula

The formula to calculate Lux (lx) is:

\[ E_v (\text{lx}) = \frac{I_v (\text{cd})}{d^2 (\text{m}^2)} \]

Where:

Candela to Lux Definition

Candela (cd) is a unit of luminous intensity, representing the power emitted by a light source in a particular direction. Lux (lx) is a unit of illuminance, representing the amount of light that hits a surface. The conversion from candela to lux depends on the distance from the light source to the surface.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ E_v = \frac{100}{2^2} \]

\[ E_v = \frac{100}{4} \]

\[ E_v = 25 \text{ lx} \]

The Illuminance (lx) is 25 lx.
