Convert lux to lumen / square meter

Learn how to convert 1 lux to lumen / square meter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

(l u x)

Left side: 1.0 (l u x) = 1.0 (l u x) = 1.0 (l x)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{l u m e n}{s q u a r e m e t e r}) = 1.0 (l u x) = 1.0 (l x)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.0 \times (l u x) = x \times 1.0 \times (l u x)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.0 \cdot (l x) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (l x)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.0 \cdot (l x) = x \times 1.0 \times (l x)

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 (l u x) = 1 (\frac{l u m e n}{s q u a r e m e t e r})
