About Kilolux (klx)
One thousand lux (10Β³ lx = 1,000 lm/mΒ²).
History: Metric multiple used for high-illuminance natural and outdoor lighting environments.
Common Uses: Direct summer sunlight measurement (up to ~100 klx), surgical operating lights, greenhouse agricultural lighting.
About Lux (lx)
The SI coherent derived unit of illuminance and luminous emittance, equal to 1 lumen per square meter (1 lx = 1 lm/mΒ²).
History: Introduced by French physicist RenΓ© Benoist in 1889 and adopted as the international standard unit of illumination by the CIPM in 1948.
Common Uses: Architectural lighting design, workplace lighting standards (OSHA/CIBSE), photography light metering, environmental daylight studies.
