INTRODUCTION
The 61-686 meter measures light from fixtures that are equipped with fluores-
cent, metal halide, high-pressure sodium and incandescent light sources.
The foot-candle unit is defined as the amount of illumination the inside
surface an imaginary 1-foot radius sphere would be receiving if there were a
uniform point source of one candela in the exact center of the sphere. Alterna-
tively, it can be defined as the illuminance on a 1-square foot surface of which
there is a uniformly distributed flux of one lumen. This can be thought of as
the amount of light that actually falls on a given surface. The foot-candle is
equal to one lumen per square foot.
The SI derived unit of illuminance is the lux. One foot-candle is equal to
approximately 10.764 lux, although in the lighting industry, typically this is
approximated as 1 footcandle being equal to 10 lux.
