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.

Millilambert
mL
Definition
The Millilambert is a unit of luminance equal to one-thousandth of a lambert (0.001 lambert). It provides a more convenient way to express moderate luminance values using the lambert system, making calculations and specifications more manageable.
History/Origin
This unit was developed as a practical alternative to the full lambert unit when dealing with moderate luminance values. The milli- prefix makes it easier to work with typical luminance levels without using very large or very small numbers in the lambert system.
Current Use
Used in specialized photometric applications where the lambert system is preferred. Common in certain technical contexts and applications where traditional photometric units are still used or required for compatibility with existing measurement systems.
