Footcandle

From Fiswiki

Footcandle The unit of measure for the density of light as it reaches a surface. One footcandle is equal to one lumen per square foot. Measured footcandles are sensitive to the distance from the source to the surface of measure (inverse square law) and the angle at which the light reaches the surface (cosine law).
