Millilambert

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.

asb

Definition

The Apostilb is a non-SI unit of luminance equal to 0.3183098862 candela per square meter. It is used in some specialized applications and provides an alternative way to express low luminance values in certain technical contexts.

History/Origin

This unit was developed as part of early photometric systems and is still used in some specialized applications. It provides a convenient way to express low luminance values and is occasionally found in technical specifications and measurement systems.

Current Use

Used in specialized photometric applications and certain technical contexts where traditional units are preferred. Occasionally found in older technical specifications and specialized measurement systems where non-SI units are still used.
