what's the conversion?

Re: what\'s the conversion?

I'm sorry, but I could use a bit more non-technical explanation. For example, my Ultrastinger is rated for 75,000 CP. What would be the approximate rating in lumens and why? And could you explain a little more why 1 MSCP=4 pi lumens (presumably pi=3.14 more or less).

Thanks!

what's the conversion between lumens and candlepower?

MSCP is Mean Spherical CandlePower, a non SI unit of measure for luminous flux.
