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.

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.
