Convert lux (lx) to kilolux (klx), reverse the direction, or convert a batch. Compare lighting specifications for workspaces, photography and grow lights. This free tool runs locally after you choose to start.
- Enter your own values, or start with the visible example.
- Adjust values, one per line (up to 200), direction, significant digits (3–15) as needed.
- Choose the action button. Review the result, then copy text or download a file when available.
- Choose Clear all when finished to remove inputs and results from the interface.
Limits, without the small print.
Uses fixed lx reference definitions and floating-point arithmetic. Up to 200 values, nonzero magnitude from 10^-100 to 10^100. Results are rounded to your chosen significant digits. Illuminance is light on a surface; lux cannot be converted to lumens without area and distribution assumptions.
One job runs at a time. You can cancel it; jobs stop after 30 seconds. Browser and device capabilities affect performance.
