How to:
Convert millicandela to Watts
Problem: Old road trailer with side lights festoon lights @ 10 watt power each
convert to LED lights
15,000 mcd = one white LED
Howmany LED to be equivelent to 10 watt power
What we have found:
The unit of measure commonly used to describe LED intensity is the millicandela (mcd), 1000 millicandela equals 1 candela. Candelas measures how much light is produced as measured at the light source.
The candela is the Luminous Intensity, in a given direction, of a source of monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 × 1012 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian.
