While a lumen(lm) is the SI derived unit measuring how much light you are getting from a bulb.
A candela(cd) is the SI unit of luminous intensity.
Formula to convert cd to lm.
To convert cd to lm, we need to know how they are related.
We are told that 1 candela emits 12.6 lumens.
Therefore, to convert cd to lm, we multiply the cd value by 12.6.
Example:
Convert 48 candela of light intensity of a spotlight.
= 48 x 12.6
= 604.8 Lumens.
