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]
The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) defines lighting ratio as (key+fill):fill, or (key+Σ fill):Σ fill, where Σ fill is the sum of all fill lights. 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.

"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.
