Candela → Lux at distance

Calculates the illuminance received on a surface based on luminous intensity.

Illuminance
0 lux
Formula used: lux = candela / distance²

Target lux → Required candela

Determines the luminous intensity required to achieve a given illuminance.

Required candela
0 cd
Formula used: candela = lux × distance²

Angle + distance → beam diameter

Calculates the beam diameter at a given distance based on the beam angle.

Beam diameter
0 m
Radius
0 m
Formula used: diameter = 2 × distance × tan(angle / 2)

Diameter → beam area

Calculates the area covered by a circular beam based on its diameter.

Radius
0 m
Area
0 m²
Formula used: area = π × radius²

Lumen / Lux / Area

Calculates the missing unit from the other two.

Result
0
Formulas used: lux = lumen / area; lumen = lux × area; area = lumen / lux
