Lux to candela calculation with distance in feet
The luminous intensity Iv in candela (cd) is equal to 0.09290304 times the illuminance Ev in lux (lx),
times the square distance from the light source d2 in square feet (ft2):
Iv(cd) = 0.09290304 × Ev(lx) × (d(ft))2
So
candela = 0.09290304 × lux × square feet
Or
cd = 0.09290304 × lx × ft2
Lux to candela calculation with distance in meters
The luminous intensity Iv in candela (cd) is equal to the illuminance Ev in lux (lx),
times the square distance from the light source d2 in square meters (m2):
Iv(cd) = Ev(lx) × (d(m))2
So
candela = lux × square meters
Or
cd = lx × m2
