Lumen per Square Centimeter Steradian

lm/(cm²·sr)

Definition

The Lumen per Square Centimeter Steradian is a unit of luminance using square centimeters as the area unit. It is equivalent to 10,000 candela per square meter and is used for measuring high-luminance sources with more manageable numbers.

History/Origin

This unit was developed as a practical alternative to the square meter unit when dealing with high-luminance applications. It provides more convenient numbers for measuring bright light sources and is commonly used in display technology and laser applications.

Current Use

Frequently used in display technology, laser systems, and high-intensity lighting applications. Common in measuring LED displays, plasma screens, and other bright light sources where precise luminance control is essential for performance and safety.

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.
