Definition

The Pentane Candle (10 Candle Power) is a unit of luminous intensity equal to ten times the standard pentane candle. It represents a higher intensity light source used for specific photometric applications requiring greater luminous output than the standard reference.

History/Origin

Developed as a higher-intensity reference standard for photometric measurements where the standard pentane candle was insufficient. It provided a reproducible standard for measuring brighter light sources and was used in specialized photometric applications.

Current Use

Primarily of historical interest, though may still be referenced in older photometric literature or specialized applications. It has been largely replaced by the international candle standard and its multiples for modern applications.
