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.

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.
