About Microlux
The microlux (µlx) equals 10⁻⁶ lx. Natural night illuminance: a moonless overcast sky ~100 µlx; scattered starlight ~200-300 µlx; crescent moon ~10-50 µlx. Used in night-vision equipment sensitivity specifications and observatory site-quality assessments. 1 µlx = 10⁻⁶ lx.
About Picolux
The picolux (plx) equals 10⁻¹² lx. A theoretical subunit used only in precision photometric standard traceability. Even the faintest measurable natural illuminance - starlight on a moonless night at ~200 nlx - is 200 billion times brighter. Appears only in SI reference chains for calibration laboratories. 1 plx = 10⁻¹² lx.
