Description

Footcandle (fc): Imperial Unit of Illuminance

The footcandle is a non-SI unit of illuminance used primarily in the United States. It is defined as the illuminance on a one-square-foot surface from a uniform source of light equivalent to one lumen. One footcandle equals approximately 10.764 lux. Despite the global shift towards SI units, the footcandle remains prevalent in certain industries and applications.

Understanding footcandles is important for professionals working in lighting design, architecture, and photography within regions that use imperial measurements. It allows for the assessment and specification of lighting requirements, ensuring that spaces are adequately illuminated according to established standards and practices.

Footlambert (fL): Imperial Unit of Luminance

The footlambert is a non-SI unit of luminance used primarily in the United States, particularly in the cinema and projection industries. One footlambert equals approximately 3.426 candelas per square meter. This unit measures the brightness of images projected onto screens, ensuring optimal viewing conditions in theaters and auditoriums.

Professionals in the film and display sectors rely on footlambert measurements to calibrate projection systems and maintain consistent image quality. Understanding and applying this unit is essential for achieving the desired visual experience in various viewing environments.
