Lux to Watts Calculator — ChiefEngineer.in

Estimate power from illuminance, area and luminous efficacy.

Reset

Formula

P = E × A / ηv

Variables

  • E — illuminance (lx)
  • A — area (m²)
  • ηv — efficacy (lm/W)

Worked Example

Input: 500 lx, 10 m², 100 lm/W

Result: P = 50 W

Assumptions & Notes

Uniform-illumination estimate. Real lighting design requires luminaire photometry and maintenance factors.
