Watts to Candlepower Calculator

Calculate Candlepower



Formula

The formula to calculate the Candlepower (C) is:

\[ C = \frac{W \times PF}{12.57} \]

Where:

Definitions

Example

Let's say the wattage (W) is 60 watts and the performance factor (PF) is 15 lumens/watt. Using the formula:

\[ C = \frac{60 \times 15}{12.57} \]

We get:

\[ C \approx 71.61 \]

So, the candlepower is approximately 71.61.
