Convert Nox to Lumen per Square Meter
Type the number of nox that you wish to convert to lumens per square meter.
How to Convert Nox to Lumens per Square Meter
The nox and lumen per square meter are both units of illuminance. By definition, 1 lumen per square meter equals exactly 1000 nox. This means to convert nox to lumens per square meter, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 nx to lumens per square meter:
We need to convert nox to lumens per square meter
Since 1 lm/m² = 1000 nx, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 nx = 0.005 lm/m²

About These Units
Nox (nx)
The nox (nx) equals 1 millilux (0.001 lux). Used in scotopic (low-light) vision research, astronomy, and light pollution studies. Full moon: 100-300 nox. Starlight: 0.1-1 nox. Quarter moon: 10-50 nox. Measures illumination at the threshold of human vision.
Lumen per Square Meter (lm/m²)
Lumens per square meter (lm/m²) is the defining formula for lux: illuminance equals luminous flux divided by area. One lux = one lumen per square meter. Used in lighting calculations: required lumens = lux × area. Essential for lighting design and energy efficiency.
