The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela (cd), an SI base unit. Type the number of Candela you want to convert in the text box, to see the results in the table.
In photometry, luminous flux is the measure of the total perceived power of light while luminous intensity is a measure of the perceived power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle.
Than, the luminous intensity Iv (expressed in candelas) corresponds to the luminous flux in a given solid angle Ω (1 cd = 1 lm/ster), while the illuminance Ev (measured in lux) corresponds to the luminous flux on a given area (1 lx = 1 lm/m 2 ).
