centilumen to teralumen
Convert centilumen (clm) to teralumen (Tlm). Use an editable luminous flux converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 clm = 1e-14 Tlm
Conversion formula
One centilumen equals 1e-14 teralumen. Multiply your value in centilumen by this factor to get teralumen. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 centilumen:5 × 1e-14 = 5e-14 Tlm

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 teralumen is 1e+12 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
