Candela Steradian per Square Meter
cd·sr/m²
Definition
The Candela Steradian per Square Meter is a unit of illuminance that is dimensionally equivalent to the lux. It represents the luminous intensity per unit solid angle per unit area, providing an alternative way to express illuminance in terms of fundamental photometric quantities.
History/Origin
Derived from the fundamental definitions of luminous intensity and solid angle in the SI system. It provides a direct relationship between illuminance and the basic photometric quantities, emphasizing the geometric aspects of light measurement.
Current Use
Used in theoretical photometry and in calculations where the relationship between luminous intensity, solid angle, and area is emphasized. It provides a fundamental understanding of illuminance in terms of basic photometric principles.

Centimeter-Candle
cm*c
Definition
The Centimeter-Candle is a unit of illuminance equal to 10,000 lux, representing the illuminance produced by a standard candle at a distance of one centimeter. It is a larger unit used for measuring very high levels of illumination, such as those found in bright light sources or concentrated lighting.
History/Origin
Developed as part of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units, where smaller base units were commonly used. The centimeter-candle provided a convenient way to express high illumination values without using very large numbers in the metric system.
Current Use
Less common in modern practice but may still be encountered in specialized applications or older technical literature. It provides a practical scale for measuring very bright light sources or concentrated illumination in research and industrial applications.
