Does anyone know how to convert the illumination detector plane watt/cm^2 to lux?

It shows as watt/cm^2 but I want it be in lux.

For any source object you insert in the Non-Sequential Component Editor, you have to provide a “Power” value. The units of this value are determined by the “Source Units” setting in the System Explorer > Units. There, you can set the Analysis Units as lumen/meter^2 = lux
