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.
