Digital Footcandle Meter

[Pimples]

I know PAR meters are much more ideal for measuring light but beyond what iam willing to pay. They are pricey. Anyways i got a digital footcandle meter just to measure how much light my canopy recieves. Iam used to lumens so does anyone know what the conversion is from footcandles to lumens? Is it x 10,000?

1 foot candle equals 10.76 lumens.

So if my fc meter reads say 50 i just x that by 10.76 and i will have lumens?
