Show the work

  1. Find the conversion factor from Foot-lambert to Nit

    1 fL = 3.4262591 cd/m² · 1 nt = 1 cd/m²

    factor = 3.4262591 ÷ 1 = 3.4262591 nt per fL

  2. Multiply by the factor: fL cancels, leaving nt

    nt = fL × (nt per fL)

    1 fL × 3.4262591 nt per fL = 3.4262591 nt

How it works

1 fL = 3.4262591 nt, so nt = fL × 3.4262591
