Lumen per Square Foot Steradian

lm/(ft²·sr)

Definition

The Lumen per Square Foot Steradian is an imperial unit of luminance that shows the relationship between luminous flux, area, and solid angle using square feet. It is equivalent to 10.7639104167 candela per square meter.

History/Origin

This unit was developed for use in countries employing imperial measurements, providing a way to express luminance in terms of square feet while maintaining the relationship to luminous flux and solid angle. It bridges metric and imperial systems in lighting applications.

Current Use

Used in lighting design and engineering in countries using imperial units, particularly in architectural lighting and display specifications. Common in applications where square footage is the standard area measurement and precise luminance control is required.

Millinit

mnt

Definition

The Millinit is a unit of luminance equal to one-thousandth of a nit (0.001 candela per square meter). It is used for measuring very low luminance values, such as those found in dim displays, night vision applications, and low-light measurement scenarios.

History/Origin

This unit was developed for applications requiring precise measurement of very low luminance values. The milli- prefix makes it convenient to express small luminance values without using decimal notation, particularly useful in low-light measurement and display technology.

Current Use

Used in low-light measurement applications, dim display technology, and night vision systems. Common in measuring very low brightness levels, dark room applications, and precision photometry where small luminance values need to be expressed clearly.
