The Lumen-lux conversion calculates the intensity of light hitting or passing through the surface. Type in any two of the measurements and the software will calculate the missing data.
1 lux Full moon overhead at tropical latitudes
50 lux Family living room
80 lux Hallway/toilet
100 lux Very dark overcast day
320–500 lux Office lighting
400 lux Sunrise or sunset on a clear day.
Lumen vs. Lux
The difference between the lux and the lumen is that the lux takes into account the area over which the luminous flux is spread. A flux of 1,000 lumens, concentrated into an area of one square metre, lights up that square metre with an illuminance of 1,000 lux. However, the same 1,000 lumens, spread out over ten square metres, produce a dimmer illuminance of only 100 lux.
