foot-candles to nits

[Jeff]

I want to sell an LED lighting device to a township that has an ordinance
that specifies a maximum of 50 foot-candles for a light source. My LEDs
have a candela spec and we usually specify our devices in nits.

If I know the nits of my device, is there a way to mathematically convert it
to foot-candles?

I also often get the question to convert nits to lumens.

Thanks,

Jeff
