A candela(cd) is the SI unit of luminous intensity.
Formula to convert lm to cd.
To convert lm to cd, we need to know how they are related.
We are told that 1 candela is emits 12.6 lumens.
Therefore, to convert lm to cd, we divide the lm value by 12.6.
Example:
Convert 1500 lumens to candela.
= 1500 รท 12.6
= 119 Candela.
