Does Candela Equal Lux?

The candela is related to the lumen and lux units. The unit lumen is used for the total luminous flux in a light beam. ... 1 candela is thus equal to 1 lumen per steradian. When a beam with a strength of 1 lumen falls on a surface of 1 square meter, this gives an illuminance of 1 lux.

Is CD m2 the same as lux?

One lux is equal to one lumen per square metre: 1 lx = 1 lm/m2 = 1 cd·sr/m2. A flux of 1000 lumens, spread uniformly over an area of 1 square metre, lights up that square metre with an illuminance of 1000 lux.
