Foot Candles: The Best Way to Gauge Light
What is a lumen? What is a foot candle? What is Lux? How do you think this could affect your understanding of lighting in the future?
A lumen is the standard measurement of light. A foot candle (FC) is the unit of measurement for light intensity (illuminance), with a single foot candle being the illuminance produced by a candle that is one foot away from a subject. Lux is a unit of measurement used with regards to meters rather than feet. Thus, one FC is approximately 10 Lux (0.0929030436 FC = 1 Lux). This could affect my understanding of lighting in the future as it provides me a more solid and measurable idea of the strength of lights, which can increase my precision when it comes to making lighting choices.
