how to measure light
[quote=OLDJIMMYBONES]im guessing you want it in lux?
Lux versus footcandle
One footcandle ≈ 10.764 lux. The footcandle (or lumen per square foot) is a non-SI unit of illuminance. Like the BTU, it is obsolete but it is still in fairly common use in the United States, particularly in construction-related engineering and in building codes.
/QUOTE]
Light bulb packages in the US read in lumens, as do bulb sites 1000bulbs.com and hydro shops equipment, most of the lighting guides on here, etc., yeah?
Actually, come to think about it, just about any time I see any measure of light relating to cannabis it is in lumens...melodious fellow Reviewed by melodious fellow on . how to measure light yes you got it another noob(also know as stumps where i come from) question. i have a light meter but it is only rated in candle power anyone have a formula for converting this so i can kinda get an idea of how much more light i need im using a 125 w hps light now for veg. just wondering if someone had a link to something that could help out. thanks in advance! speedy Rating: 5
