Converting from Lumen per Square Meter (lm/m²) to Lumen per Square Centimeter (lm/cm²) | Illuminance

What is Lumen per Square Meter (lm/m²)

Lumen per Square Meter (lm/m²) is a unit of illuminance that measures the amount of light falling on a surface per square meter. It is commonly used to quantify the brightness of light in a given area.

What is Lumen per Square Centimeter (lm/cm²)

Lumen per Square Centimeter (lm/cm²) is a smaller unit of illuminance that measures the amount of light falling on a surface per square centimeter. It is useful for situations where a more precise measurement of light intensity is required.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between lm/m² and lm/cm² is:

• 1 (lm/m²) = 0.0001 (lm/cm²)
• 1 (lm/cm²) = 10000 (lm/m²)

Other conversions:

• 17 (lm/m²) = 0.0017 (lm/cm²)
• 17 (lm/cm²) = 170000 (lm/m²)
• 11 (lm/m²) = 0.0011 (lm/cm²)
• 11 (lm/cm²) = 110000 (lm/m²)
• 15 (lm/m²) = 0.0015 (lm/cm²)
• 15 (lm/cm²) = 150000 (lm/m²)

Examples

1. Convert 25 lm/m² to lm/cm²:

25 lm/m²×0.0001=0.0025 lm/cm²

2. Convert 500 lm/cm² to lm/m²:

500 lm/cm²×10000=5000000 lm/m²

By understanding these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between lumen per square meter (lm/m²) and lumen per square centimeter (lm/cm²) to suit your specific lighting measurement needs.
