Kilocandela per Square Meter
kcd/m²
Definition
The Kilocandela per Square Meter is a metric unit of luminance, equal to 1,000 candela per square meter. It provides a convenient way to express high luminance values without using very large numbers, making calculations and specifications more manageable.
History/Origin
This unit was introduced as a practical alternative to the base SI unit when dealing with high-luminance applications. The kilo- prefix makes it easier to work with bright light sources and high-intensity displays where the base unit would result in large numbers.
Current Use
Widely used in professional lighting, display technology, and photometry for measuring bright light sources. Common in LED displays, high-intensity lighting systems, and applications requiring precise control of very bright light output.

Foot-Lambert
fL
Definition
The Foot-Lambert is an imperial unit of luminance equal to 3.4262590996 candela per square meter. It is commonly used in display technology and lighting applications in countries that employ imperial measurement systems.
History/Origin
This unit was developed as an imperial equivalent to the lambert, using square feet as the area unit. It provides a practical way to measure luminance in contexts where imperial units are standard, particularly in display technology and lighting applications.
Current Use
Widely used in display technology, particularly in the United States, for specifying monitor brightness, television luminance, and other display characteristics. Common in consumer electronics specifications and lighting applications where imperial units are standard.
