What is the luminous flux converter?
The luminous flux converter is a collection of calculators for changing one luminous flux unit into another. Convert luminous flux units for lighting output, lamps, LEDs, projectors, fixtures, photometry, and optical specifications.
Luminous flux conversions help compare lamp output, LED ratings, projectors, fixtures, photometric data, and lighting specifications.
Available luminous flux units
This category includes the following units:
- Lumen (lm)
- Millilumen (mlm)
- Kilolumen (klm)
- Megalumen (Mlm)
- Candela Steradian (cd sr)
Common luminous flux use cases
Use this category when the same measurement appears in different unit systems, data sheets, calculators, reports, or regional conventions.
- Convert lumens, millilumens, kilolumens, megalumens, and candela steradians in lighting specifications.
- Compare LED, lamp, projector, and fixture output values across different scale prefixes.
- Standardize light output data before comparing fixtures, optical systems, or photometric reports.

Most wrong answers come from mixing unit systems, rounding too early, or choosing a unit that looks similar but means something different.
- Do not hide the original luminous flux unit when copying a result into a report, label, or calculator.
- Do not round intermediate values when the result will be reused in another formula.
- Check whether the source and target units describe the same physical quantity before comparing luminous flux values.
