The lux is the metric unit of light measurement it replaces the footcandle (fc) Illumination is measured in lux (lx)
Illumination measures the visible light falling per unit area in a given position illumination concerns the spectral sensitivity of the human eye Illumination can also be measured in foot-candles (fcd): One lux equals about one tenth of a footcandle 1 lx = 10.76 fcd. (Note that 1 lx can be interpreted as 1 meter-candle).
