Subject: footcandles to lumens

Hi Jose,
This subject was covered in digests 2066 and 2067 but if you don't
have access then basically: a lux = 1 lumen per square meter. A
footcandle = 1 lumen per square foot. Therefore 1 foot candle =
10.7 lux and is a measure of illumination. ie how much light you
see with your eyes.
Richard.
