centilumen to hectolumen
Convert centilumen (clm) to hectolumen (hlm). Use an editable luminous flux converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 clm = 0.0001 hlm
Conversion formula
One centilumen equals 0.0001 hectolumen. Multiply your value in centilumen by this factor to get hectolumen. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 centilumen:5 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 hlm

About these measurements
Luminous flux measures the visible-light output weighted by human visual sensitivity.
The base reference used here is the lumen. One centilumen is 0.01 base units; one hectolumen is 100 base units.
Important distinctions
Lumens measure light output; lux measures illumination per unit area.
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.
Common questions
How do I convert clm to hlm?
Multiply the quantity in clm by 0.0001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the hectolumen to centilumen converter.
