Lux & Foot-Candles Photometry

Calculate architectural light levels, illuminance indexes, and foot-candle units.

💡 Lux Scale Calibration: Lux measures luminous flux per unit area (one lumen per square meter). Foot-candle evaluates intensity relative to square footage. Direct noon sunlight is approximately 100,000 Lux; standard comfortable reading light requires ~500 Lux (46 fc).
