About Converting Deciwatts to Microwatts
Deciwatt and Microwatt both describe power output, and the conversion is a routine part of comparing an engine or motor's spec sheet across countries that use different power units. Specifically: Deciwatt is 0.1 watt units, and microwatt is 0.000001 watt units.
Formula
microwatts = deciwatts × 100000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 deciwatt equals 0.1 base units, and 1 microwatt equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciwatt-to-microwatt factor of 100000.
Simple example
1 dW × 100000 = 100,000 uW
1 deciwatt = 100,000 microwatts.
Real-world example
100 dW × 100000 = 10,000,000 uW
100 deciwatts = 10,000,000 microwatts.

Frequently asked questions
How many microwatts are in 1 deciwatt?
1 deciwatt equals 100,000 microwatts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert deciwatt to microwatt?
Multiply the deciwatt value by 100000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert microwatt back to deciwatt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 microwatt equals 0.00001 deciwatts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a deciwatt?
Deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power.
What is a microwatt?
Microwatt (uW) is a unit of power.
Is the deciwatt to microwatt conversion exact?
Yes. Both deciwatt and microwatt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 100000 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
