Conversion Formula
Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²) = Phot (Lumen/centimeter²) × 10000
Phot (Lumen/centimeter²) = Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²) × 0.0001
Factors are from BIPM SI brochure and NIST SP 811, stored unrounded and computed via a base unit. Reverse factor is 1 ÷ 10000.
How to convert Phot (Lumen/centimeter²) to Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²)
Multiply the value in phot (lumen/centimeter²) by 10000 to get lux (meter-candle, lumen/meter²). For example, 5 Phot (Lumen/centimeter²) = 50000 Lux (Meter-candle, Lumen/meter²). 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 1000 too early — keep full precision until the final display. For éclairement, always verify critical calculations (medicine, engineering) with a second source.
