Unit Information

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.

Foot-Lambert

Definition

The Foot-Lambert is an imperial unit of luminance equal to 3.4262590996 candela per square meter. It is commonly used in display technology and lighting applications in countries that employ imperial measurement systems.

History/Origin

This unit was developed as an imperial equivalent to the lambert, using square feet as the area unit. It provides a practical way to measure luminance in contexts where imperial units are standard, particularly in display technology and lighting applications.

Current Use

Widely used in display technology, particularly in the United States, for specifying monitor brightness, television luminance, and other display characteristics. Common in consumer electronics specifications and lighting applications where imperial units are standard.
