Conversion Formula
Phot (Lumen/centimeter²) = Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²) × 0.0001
Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²) = Phot (Lumen/centimeter²) × 10000
Factors are from BIPM SI brochure and NIST SP 811, stored unrounded and computed via a base unit. Reverse factor is 1 ÷ 0.0001.
How to convert Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²) to Phot (Lumen/centimeter²)
Multiply the value in lux (meter-candle, lumen/meter²) by 0.0001 to get phot (lumen/centimeter²). For example, 5 Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²) = 0.0005 Phot (Lumen/centimeter²). All results in the éclairement converter update instantly as you type, so you can see every unit at once without manual math.
Common mistakes
Do not round the factor to 0.00 too early — keep full precision until the final display. For éclairement, always verify critical calculations (medicine, engineering) with a second source.
