Formula

The formula to calculate Candela (cd) from Lumens (lm) is:

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

Where:

Lumen to Candela Definition

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

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ I_v = \frac{1000}{2\pi (1 - \cos(30 / 2))} \]

\[ I_v = \frac{1000}{2\pi (1 - \cos(15))} \]

\[ I_v = \frac{1000}{2\pi (1 - 0.9659)} \]

\[ I_v = \frac{1000}{2\pi \times 0.0341} \]

\[ I_v = \frac{1000}{0.214} \]

The Luminous Intensity (cd) is approximately 4674.74 cd.
