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.

Phot
ph
Definition
The Phot is a CGS unit of illuminance equal to 10,000 lux, representing one lumen per square centimeter. It is a larger unit used for measuring very high levels of illumination, particularly in scientific and technical applications where high light intensities are common.
History/Origin
Developed as part of the CGS system of units, where the phot provided a convenient way to express high illumination values. It was widely used in scientific literature and technical applications before the adoption of SI units became standard practice.
Current Use
Primarily found in older scientific literature and specialized technical applications. It provides a practical scale for measuring very bright light sources and is still occasionally referenced in photometric research and historical technical documents.
