 +* Illuminance value for a typical home or office is between 300 to 500 lux (30 to 50 footcandles).
 +
 +* Smartphone screen = ~500–2,​000 nits (cd/m²) (1 nit = π lux ≈ 3.14 lux)
 +
 +* Sunlight on a surface = ~100,000 nits
 +
 +* A white wall lit by a 60W bulb = ~50–100 nits depending on distance
