lux (Library of Units and Constants

Name:
lux
(convert lux to new units)

Abbreviation:
lx

Quantity:
illuminance

Metric (SI) Equivalents:
lux is a metric unit (in fact, it is a derived SI unit)
1 lumen / meter^2
1 candela steradian / meter^2

Metric (SI) Dimensions:
length^-2 × luminous-intensity × solid-angle

Notes:
(1) Even though the steradian is a dimensionless derived unit and could be dropped, it is shown in the metric (SI) equivalents for clarity.
(2) Even though solid-angle is not an official metric (SI) dimension and could be dropped, it is shown in the dimensions for clarity.
