Illuminance Converter

To use an illuminance converter tool, which converts between different units of illuminance (e.g., lux, foot-candles), follow these general steps:

1. Open the Tool: Go to a website or application that offers an illuminance converter tool. Examples include unitconverters.net, rapidtables.com, and many others.

2. Select Conversion Type: Choose the type of conversion you want to perform. For example, you might want to convert from lux to foot-candles or vice versa.

3. Enter Illuminance: Enter the illuminance value you want to convert. For example, if you're converting from lux to foot-candles, enter the illuminance in lux.

4. Convert: Click the "Convert" button or equivalent to perform the conversion. The tool will then display the equivalent illuminance in the selected unit of measurement.

5. Adjust for Specific Units: Some converters allow you to specify additional details, such as the specific type of illuminance measurement within a category (e.g., lumens per square meter to lux, lumens per square foot to foot-candles). Make sure to select the appropriate units for your conversion.

6. View Results: Review the converted illuminance and any additional information provided by the tool, such as the conversion formula used.

7. Optional: Reverse Conversion: Some tools allow you to easily reverse the conversion (e.g., convert from foot-candles to lux after converting from lux to foot-candles). Look for a button or option to perform this reversal if needed.

8. Use the Converted Illuminance: Once you have the converted illuminance, you can use it for various purposes, such as in lighting design, photography, or architectural planning.

Always refer to the specific tool's documentation or help section for detailed instructions, as the exact steps may vary depending on the illuminance converter tool you are using.
