Lumen per Square Meter Steradian

lm/(m²·sr)

Definition

The Lumen per Square Meter Steradian is a unit of luminance that explicitly shows the relationship between luminous flux, area, and solid angle. It is dimensionally equivalent to candela per square meter and provides insight into the geometric aspects of light measurement.

History/Origin

This unit was developed to emphasize the relationship between luminous flux, surface area, and solid angle in luminance measurements. It provides a more detailed understanding of how light is distributed and measured in three-dimensional space.

Current Use

Used in advanced photometry and lighting calculations where the relationship between flux, area, and solid angle is important. Common in research applications and detailed lighting analysis where understanding the geometric aspects of light distribution is crucial.

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.
