femtolux to nanolux
Convert femtolux (flx) to nanolux (nlx). Use an editable illuminance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 flx = 0.000001 nlx
Conversion formula
One femtolux equals 0.000001 nanolux. Multiply your value in femtolux by this factor to get nanolux. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 femtolux:5 × 0.000001 = 0.000005 nlx

About these measurements
Illuminance is luminous flux falling on a surface per unit area.
The base reference used here is the lux. One femtolux is 1e-15 base units; one nanolux is 1e-9 base units.
Important distinctions
One lux is one lumen per square meter.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
