3. Preface
The flux of light received in a unit area of a
certain side being shown is popularly known as
illumination. The measuring unit in both United
Kingdom and America is known as footcandles
light, but in Europe it is also known as meter
candlelight.
One foot-candles light is the illumination of light
that falls on one side which is one foot away from
a one foot-candlelight and exactly intersecting
with the light. Its abbreviated form is written as 1
Fc=1 Lm/ft, similarly, one-meter candlelight is the
illumination of light that falls on a side which is
one meter away from a one meter candlelight and
exactly intersecting the light. It is also called Lux
i,e. the flux of light being received in each sq.
meter is called the illumination of one lumen.
1 FC=10.764 LUX, 1 LUX=0.09290 FC,
therefore,Nbr. of foot (meter) candlelight =
Nbr. of Lumen
