  • is there a formula or chart for calculating light output?

    Posted by Mickavery on 25 April 2008 at 12:26

    Many years ago I had a chart I think was issued by ICI for calculating light output through opal acrylic.
    I need to calculate and supply to a planning dept the candlelas per sq metre on a sign installation.
    Any help would be appreciated. I have already tried google with no luck.

    If it’s for a planning application you don’t need to quote the actual light output just confirm that it won’t exceed a certain amount (200 candelas per square metre).
