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]
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.
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.
Illuminance diagram with units and terminology. In photometry, illuminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area. [1] It is a measure of how much the incident light illuminates the surface, wavelength-weighted by the luminosity function to correlate with human brightness perception. [2]

The 10,000 steps per day rule isn’t based in science. Here’s what experts have to say about how much you should actually walk per day for maximum benefits.
A foot-lambert or footlambert (fL, sometimes fl or ft-L) is a unit of luminance in United States customary units and some other unit systems. A foot-lambert equals 1/π or 0.3183 candela per square foot, or 3.426 candela per square meter (the corresponding SI unit).
