Candela to Lux Calculator — ChiefEngineer.in

Convert candela to illuminance at a distance (inverse-square law).

Reset

Formula

E = I / r²

Variables

  • E — illuminance (lx)
  • I — luminous intensity (cd)
  • r — distance (m)

Worked Example

Input: I = 100 cd, r = 2 m

Result: E = 25 lx

Assumptions & Notes

Point-source approximation, surface perpendicular to light. Real luminaires need photometric data.
