Luminous Intensity Converter

Comprehensive Luminous Intensity Converter

Luminous intensity quantifies the perceived power emitted by a light source in a particular direction. Expressed in candles (international), this parameter is essential in lighting design, optical engineering, and various scientific applications. Our Luminous Intensity Converter allows you to convert between different definitions of a candle—including German, UK, pentane, Hefner, and more—ensuring precise and consistent results across different standards.

它是如何工作的？

我们的转换器采用两步法：

1. 转换为基本单位：
   The input value is first converted to candle (international) using the conversion factor of the selected “From” unit.

2. 转换为目标单位：
   The value in candle (international) is then converted to your chosen “To” unit using its corresponding conversion factor.

This method ensures accurate and consistent conversions across various luminous intensity standards.
