A foot-candle (sometimes foot candle; abbreviated fc, lm/ft 2, or sometimes ft-c) is a non-SI unit of illuminance or light intensity. The foot-candle is defined as one lumen per square foot. This unit is commonly used in lighting layouts in parts of the world where United States customary units are used, mainly the United States. [1]
Light can be measured in footcandles. A key light of 200 footcandles and fill light of 100 footcandles have a 3:1 ratio (a ratio of three to one) — (200 + 100):100. A key light of 800 footcandles and a fill light of 200 footcandles has a ratio of 5:1 according to the lighting ratio formula — (800 + 200):200 = 1000 / 200 = 5 : 1.
The foot-candle is a non-metric unit of illuminance that is used in photography. [5] Illuminance was formerly often called brightness, but this leads to confusion with other uses of the word, such as to mean luminance. "Brightness" should never be used for quantitative description, but only for nonquantitative references to physiological ...
Daylight harvesting systems are typically designed to maintain a minimum recommended light level. [1] This light level will vary according to the needs and use of the space; for example, the commonly recommended light level for offices is 500 Lux (or around 50 foot-candles) on the desktop.
The Jennings Creek fire is 50% contained, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service said in a Wednesday evening update, after reporting 30% containment earlier in the day. Authorities have said the blaze ...
