lux to foot-candles
1 lx = 0.092903 fc
Lighting standards split by country: the rest of the world specifies lux, American codes and datasheets specify foot-candles. One foot-candle is about 10.76 lux — near enough to ten that people round it, which is fine for a rule of thumb and not fine for a compliance figure. An office desk usually wants 300 to 500 lux, which is 28 to 46 fc.
