Convert lumen / steradian to candela

Learn how to convert 1 lumen / steradian to candela step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{lumen}{steradian}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(candela\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(candela\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{lumen}{steradian}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0\left(candela\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0\left(cd\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(candela\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0\left(candela\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0\left(cd\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{lumen}{steradian}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(candela\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(candela\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(candela\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(cd\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(cd\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(cd\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(cd\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 1.0\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(1.0 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1.0\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{lumen}{steradian}\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1}\left(candela\right)\)
