Conversion Formula
Foot-candle (Lumen/foot²) = Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²) × 0.0929031299
Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²) = Foot-candle (Lumen/foot²) × 10.7639
Factors are from BIPM SI brochure and NIST SP 811, stored unrounded and computed via a base unit. Reverse factor is 1 ÷ 0.0929031299.
How to convert Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²) to Foot-candle (Lumen/foot²)
