How accurate is this illuminance converter?

Can I reverse the conversion without retyping?

Yes — the swap toggle reverses the two units in place. The reverse rate is also shown in the detail section, so you can read it either way without changing anything.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The conversion is plain JavaScript running in your browser. No value you type is transmitted, logged or stored.

Can I link to a specific conversion?
