FC or Lux – Which do you use?
In Canada we typically use FC(foot-candles). But on the odd occasion a Canadian company comes to us with a lux reading and prefer the layout done in that measurement. More often for the US we use lux but FC has been requested. Either way the difference is easily calculated by: 1FC = 10 Luxnote: 0.0929030436 = 1 […]
Light Loss Factor (LLF). How it Works
Light Loss Factor or also known as LLF in short form is one of the hardest parts to remember in the lighting industry.

How Reflectance Affects Lighting
A common issue we encounter when doing layouts is how to accurately measure the reflectance in a building. The reflectivity of any surface is calculated by a numerical value 0.0 behind jet black(no reflectance) and 1.0 being as white(full reflectivity). It does not go beyond these values. Typical default values are 0.8(ceiling) 0.5(walls) 0.2(floor) which is […]

Why is CRI so important?
CRI is the abbreviation used for color rendering index. It is a measure of the light source’s ability to show the object’s “real” or “natural” colors in a scale from 1 to 100.
