A Fixture unit is 7.48 gallons (1 cu ft) or 3 sq ft of drainage Or a pump discharging 1 GPM = 1 FU
When in doubt of a proper answer ask a Master plumber of a class A journeyman
There is no one item..Sizing the proper size of a water main one has to calculate the fixture unit demand . A fixture unit is one cubic foot of water (7.48 gallons) and each fixture is given a rating then one has to figure in friction losses through piping and fittings and developed lengh. To much velocity you will have erosion and lots of noise plus hydraulic shock (water hammer) to little allowances for the demand and you can experience a severe pressure / volume drop
For the amperage of a metal halide fixture look for the nameplate which can be found on the side of the ballast. There it will tell you what the amperage of the fixture draws. Knowing what one fixture draws will allow you to size the lighting circuit for wire and breaker sizes.
The average light fixture is likely in series with the light switch, and the utility power grid.

A NIT is a unit of measurement for luminance, representing the brightness of an LED display. Specifically, it quantifies how much light is emitted per square meter, with one NIT equal to one candela per square meter. Higher NIT values indicate brighter displays, which are crucial for visibility in various lighting conditions. For instance, outdoor displays typically require higher NIT ratings to remain legible in direct sunlight.
In plumbing, a Fixture Unit (FU) is equal to one cubic foot of water per minute. A Fixture Unit is not a flow rate unit but a design factor. This is roughly 7.48 gallons per minute, or 28.3 liters per minute.
One fixture unit
There is no answer as the units are incompatible and therefore not convertible. In plumbing, a Fixture Unit is equal to one cubic foot of water drained in an 1 1/4 pipe over one minute. A Fixture Unit is not a volume or a flow rate unit but a design factor.
3 gpm
A fixture is 7.48 gallons which is equal to 1 cubic foot of waterAlso a fixture unit in storm drainage is roughly 3 square feet depending on pitchTo convert sanitary /waste to storm fixture units for a combined system one has to do interpolation combining all the GPM flow expected from a 10 year frequency
A fixture unit is 1 cubic foot of water (7.48 gallons) If your using pumped drainage /soil system then for every GPM of flow rate one has to consider it as ONE FU

The plumbing code adopted by the jurisdiction in which the piping is placed will assign a "fixture unit" value to fixtures. For example, for waste and vent piping, a lavatory is usually one, a sink is usually two, a toilet usually between three and six, etc. A chart in the code book will tell how many "fixture units" can be installed on a particular size line. For example, a 2" line will usually carry 16 fixture units on a vertical pipe, 8 fixture units on a horizontal pipe, and will vent 24 fixture units. For a specific answer to your need you should consult a plumber working in your jurisdiction. And as far as "certain distances".....horizontal is self-limiting by grade, vertical is addressed by code, for example, 2" is limited to 85 feet vertical. Pressure pipe (water) is done much the same way....fixture unit values assigned to fixtures and then total fixture units allowed for each pipe size and pressure range.

By the flow rate in GPM .. 1 GPM pumped discharge is considered ONE FU .. Normally a fixture unit is one cubic foot of water which is 7.48 gallons. Fixture can also be used for storm drainage such as a roof and then you have to figure 3 sq ft =1 FU and a combination system one has to use interpolation to size the drainage /waste line

You can save space in a small bathroom by installing a combination toilet and sink unit, also known as a toilet sink combo. This unit combines the functions of a toilet and sink into one fixture, allowing you to maximize the space available in your bathroom.
