Lumen to Candela Calculator












Calculation Formula

The formula to calculate Candela (\(cd\)) from Lumens (\(lm\)) is:

\[ cd = \frac{lm}{2 \pi (1 - \cos(\theta / 2))} \]

Where:

  • \(cd\) is the luminous intensity in candela.
  • \(lm\) is the luminous flux in lumens.
  • \(\theta\) is the apex angle in degrees.
