+ | * Illuminances produced by daylight cover a broad range, from 150,000 lux on a sunny day in the summer to 1,000 lux on a gray, overcast day in winter. The typical illuminance that results from moonlight is about 0.3 lux. | ||
+ | * 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 | ||
