foot-candles to lux
1 fc = 10.7639 lx
American lighting plans and fixture datasheets quote foot-candles; European standards such as EN 12464 are written in lux, so a spec crossing the Atlantic has to be converted before it can be checked. Multiply by 10.764 — the exact figure matters when a number sits near a code minimum.
