1. 1 lm × 1 = 1 lm
2. 1 lm ÷ 1000 = 0.001 klm

Unit Information

Lumen (lm)

The lumen is the SI unit of luminous flux, a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source per unit of time.

1 lm = 0.001 klm1 lm = 0.00159 cd·sr1 lm = 0.0796 lm/W (at 555 nm)

Kilolumen (klm)

The kilolumen is a unit of luminous flux equal to 1000 lumens, used for measuring the light output of high-intensity light sources.

1 klm = 1000 lm1 klm = 1.59 cd·sr1 klm = 79.6 lm/W (at 555 nm)

Common Applications

Lumen

  • Light bulb brightness
