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 Meter
lm/m²
Definition
The Lumen per Square Meter is a unit of illuminance that is numerically equivalent to the lux. It represents the luminous flux per unit area, emphasizing the flux aspect of light measurement and providing a direct relationship between light output and surface illumination.
History/Origin
Derived from the fundamental definition of the lux as one lumen per square meter. It provides an alternative way to express illuminance that emphasizes the luminous flux component, making it useful in calculations involving light sources and their output.
Current Use
Widely used in lighting calculations and photometric applications where the relationship between luminous flux and surface area is important. It provides a practical way to understand illuminance in terms of light source output and surface coverage.
