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.

Nox
nox
Definition
The Nox is a unit of illuminance equal to one-thousandth of a lux, representing very low levels of illumination. It is used for measuring extremely dim light conditions, such as those found in night vision applications, astronomical observations, or specialized scientific measurements.
History/Origin
Developed for measuring very low illumination levels that are below the practical range of the lux. The nox provides a convenient unit for expressing extremely dim light conditions in scientific and technical applications where precision is important.
Current Use
Used in specialized applications requiring measurement of very low light levels, such as night vision technology, astronomical photometry, and scientific research involving extremely dim light sources. It provides a practical scale for quantifying near-threshold illumination conditions.
