Formula
Formula
klx = nox × 1e-6
Multiply any value in nox by 1e-6 to obtain the value in kilolux.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 nox to klx.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 nox.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1e-6 = 1 klx.
Result1.00000e+6 nox = 1 klx

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from nox to klx?
1 nox equals 1e-6 klx. To convert, multiply the value in nox by 1e-6.
How do I convert 1 nox to klx?
1 nox = 1e-6 klx. For any value, multiply by 1e-6.
How do I convert klx back to nox?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000000. So 1 klx = 1.00000e+6 nox.
When would I need to convert nox to kilolux?
Illuminance conversions between nox and klx are used in lighting design, workplace safety assessments, and photographic exposure work. Lux is the SI standard for international codes; foot-candles remain common in US lighting specifications.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
