Description

Lux Second (lx·s): Unit of Luminous Exposure

The lux second is a unit of luminous exposure that quantifies the cumulative amount of light (illuminance) received by a surface over a specific duration. It is derived by multiplying illuminance, measured in lux, by the time in seconds. This metric is vital in scientific research and industries where both the intensity and duration of light exposure matter, such as photography, photobiology, and lighting engineering.

For photographers and lighting designers, understanding lux seconds helps determine the proper lighting duration for optimal exposure. In biological research, it aids in quantifying light therapy doses or assessing plant light exposure in controlled environments. This unit bridges the gap between instantaneous light measurement and long-term exposure, supporting better accuracy in light-related assessments.

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.
