Candela per Square Foot

cd/ft²

Definition

The Candela per Square Foot is an imperial unit of luminance, representing the luminous intensity per unit area using the square foot as the area unit. It is commonly used in countries that employ imperial measurement systems for lighting applications.

History/Origin

Developed as part of the imperial system of measurements, this unit provides a practical way to measure surface brightness in contexts where square feet are the standard area unit. It bridges the gap between metric and imperial systems in lighting applications.

Current Use

Used in lighting design and engineering in countries using imperial units, particularly in the United States. Common in architectural lighting, display specifications, and lighting calculations where square footage is the standard area measurement.

Bril

bril

Definition

The Bril is a very small unit of luminance equal to 3.1830988618379E-8 candela per square meter. It is used for measuring extremely low luminance values, such as those found in very dim light sources or specialized low-light measurement applications.

History/Origin

This unit was developed for applications requiring measurement of extremely low luminance values. The name "bril" suggests brightness, and it provides a practical way to express very small luminance values without using scientific notation.

Current Use

Used in specialized low-light measurement applications, night vision research, and photometry where extremely low luminance values need to be measured and expressed. Common in research applications and precision photometric measurements.
