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.

Blondel

blondel

Definition

The Blondel is a non-SI unit of luminance equal to 0.3183098862 candela per square meter, identical to the apostilb. It is named after the French physicist André Blondel and is used in some specialized photometric applications.

History/Origin

Named after the French physicist André Blondel, this unit was developed as part of early photometric systems. It is identical to the apostilb and provides an alternative way to express low luminance values in certain technical and historical contexts.

Current Use

Used in specialized photometric applications and historical contexts where the Blondel unit is preferred. Occasionally found in older technical specifications and certain branches of photometry where traditional units are still used.
