If you have anything thats solar powered, tell us about it. Eg, Solar RC Cars, Solar Bikes etc.

I have been looking on the web and havent been able to find any mention of light as a percentage, and its comparison to a lux reading, the unit in which we measure our light levels for use on our AIMSCC Car. Does anyone have a conversion rate. If so that would be really helpful.
Thanks

Hi,
100% sunlight is equal to 1000W/m2 of radiance.
10% sunlight is equal to 100W/m2 of radiance.
So basically, if you want to convert lux to the light percentage, you need to convert lux to radiance than convert it back to a percentage.
Cheers.
