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.

Lumen per Square Centimeter
lm/cm²
Definition
The Lumen per Square Centimeter is a unit of illuminance equal to 10,000 lux, representing the luminous flux per unit area using the centimeter as the area unit. It is used for measuring very high levels of illumination, particularly in concentrated light sources or small area applications.
History/Origin
Developed as part of the CGS system where smaller area units were commonly used. It provides a convenient way to express high illumination values without using very large numbers, particularly useful in scientific and technical applications.
Current Use
Used in specialized applications requiring measurement of very high illumination levels, such as laser technology, concentrated light sources, or scientific research involving intense light fields. It provides a practical scale for quantifying high-intensity illumination.
