A watt is a unit of power; candlepower is measured in candelas (sometimes called candles), and is a unit of luminous intensity. A candela is a lumen per steradian. A lumen is a unit of luminous flux, which is radiant power tempered by the response of the human eye. Thus, one watt of radiant power at the wavelength of peak response of the eye for bright light (about 555 nanometer) equals 683 lumen. That's green light; light of other colors will equal less.
A steradian is a unit of solid angle; there are 4*pi steradians in a sphere. So clearly, we cannot convert watts to candlepower, just as we can't convert pounds to inches. But we CAN convert if we make a few assumptions. Candlepower depends on the direction from the light source. For a given light source, reflectors and lenses will greatly affect the numbers. So let's assume an isotropic source (one that radiates equally in all directions). One candlepower would then equal 4*pi lumen. If the wavelength of the light is 555 nm, then 4*pi/683 (or about 0.0184 watt) would be the equivalent power. In the case of "white" light, that number would be about 0.14 or so (depending on the color temperature or "whiteness").
Please bear in mind that the power referred to above is the radiant power, not the power applied to the light source. In the case of incandescent lamps, much applied power is converted to heat and infrared radiation.

100 lumens=1257 candlepower from what I have found
According to some of the answers given here, and the mathematics involved in wattage, it seems to be that one watt equals 14.5°.Why? Because you can cram 1009 people into an 1809 sq ft room. You can heat a 400 sq ft room with a 1500w heater. Human Body temperature is 98.6°.
It is a lot brighter than 50 candlepower and slightly less bright than 402 candlepower.
Cannot be converted as the dimensions of the units do not match. You can however convert candlepower to lumen/steradian.
Lumen and candlepower are not the same thing. Lumen measure the of light surrounds, like you would light a room with a lamp. Candlepower measures the light in a beam, like a flashlight beam. With a few assumptions you can convert lumen to candlepower. With these assumptions 360 lumen would be 28.6 candlepower.
the MK127 parachute flare is NATO rated at 125,000 candlepower.
1000 kilowatts for 1 mega watt
1000watts=1kilowatt
James Watt is one possibility. There are many people with, Watt, as a surname.
1hp=745 watt
1000000 or 10000000 i think
explain the method of measure of candle power of source?
