Convert lumen / steradian to candle

Learn how to convert 1 lumen / steradian to candle step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{l u m e n}{s t e r a d i a n}) = x (c a n d l e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(c a n d e l a)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{l u m e n}{s t e r a d i a n}) = 1.0 (c a n d e l a) = 1.0 (c d)

Right side: 1.0 (c a n d l e) = 1.0 (c a n d e l a) = 1.0 (c d)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{l u m e n}{s t e r a d i a n}) = x (c a n d l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.0 \times (c a n d e l a) = x \times 1.0 \times (c a n d e l a)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.0 \cdot (c d) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (c d)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.0 \cdot (c d) = x \times 1.0 \times (c d)

Conversion Equation

1.0 = x \times 1.0

Simplify

1.0 = x

Switch sides

x = 1.0

Solve

x

x = 1

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{l u m e n}{s t e r a d i a n}) = 1 (c a n d l e)
