Candela per Square Meter

cd/m²

Definition

The Candela per Square Meter is the SI derived unit of luminance, representing the luminous intensity per unit area of light traveling in a given direction. It quantifies how much light is emitted or reflected from a surface area.

History/Origin

Derived from the SI base units of luminous intensity (candela) and area (square meter), this unit was established as part of the modern metric system. It provides a standardized way to measure surface brightness and is fundamental to photometry and lighting design.

Current Use

Widely used in lighting engineering, display technology, and photometry for measuring screen brightness, surface illumination, and light output. Essential for designing lighting systems, evaluating display performance, and ensuring proper illumination levels in various applications.

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.
