    Maybe check that you have an updated browser. I know some older IE versions like IE 6 don't properly display the feature (FYI - it's a 'tooltip' made with CSS3 stylesheet language). Otherwise Firefox, Safari, Chrome should work.

    Thanks for visiting! Are you testing soon?

A. 25,115 cd/in² B. 25.115 cd/ft² C. 25,115 cd/m² D. Indeterminate, missing variable. Answer If 1 candela (cd) = 4 ∏ lumens (lm), 890 x 1cd/4∏ = 71 cd, A19 = 19/8 = 2.375 in or 60mm diameter (= 30mm radius), L = intensity / projected area, 71 cd / ∏ r² = 71/ 3.14 x (.03m)² = 25,115 cd/m² ARE 4.0 exam prep: BS
