Convert Lumen per Square Centimeter to Milliphot
Type the number of lumens per square centimeter that you wish to convert to milliphots.
How to Convert Lumens per Square Centimeter to Milliphots
The lumen per square centimeter and milliphot are both units of illuminance. By definition, 1 lumen per square centimeter equals exactly 1000 milliphots. This means to convert lumens per square centimeter to milliphots, you multiply by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 lm/cm² to milliphots:
We need to convert lumens per square centimeter to milliphots
Since 1 lm/cm² = 1000 mph, multiply by 1000
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 lm/cm² = 5000 mph

About These Units
Lumen per Square Centimeter (lm/cm²)
Lumens per square centimeter (lm/cm²) equals 10,000 lux or 1 phot. Used in scientific contexts for high-intensity illumination. One lm/cm² represents intense light levels found in specialized applications like projection systems and concentrated solar power.
Milliphot (mph)
A milliphot (mph) equals 0.001 phots or 10 lux. Provides a convenient scale for indoor lighting measurements. Well-lit office: 30-50 milliphots. One milliphot = 0.929 foot-candles. Used in some older photographic and scientific references.
