Lux to PPFD Conversion / Calculator


Conversion - Lux to PPFD


NOTE: The conversion from Lux to PPFD (µmol m-2 s-1) varies under different light sources. For a complete discussion please see the reference listed below.

Lux to PPFD (µmol m-2 s-1)

Light SourceCalibration Factor
Sunlight0.0185
LED ( 6000-6500k)
Cool White Fluorescent Lamps0.0135
Mogul Base High Pressure Sodium Lamps0.0122
Dual-Ended High Pressure Sodium (DEHPS): ePapillion 1000 W0.0130
Metal Halide0.0141
Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH942): standard 4200 K color temperature0.0154
Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH930-Agro): 3100 K color temperature, spectrum shifted to red wavelengths0.0170
Multiply the Lux by the conversion factor to get PPFD. For example, full sunlight is 108,000 Lux or 2000 µmol m-2 s-1 (108,000 ∗ 0.0185).
