Candle (Pentane)

candle (pentane)

Definition

The Candle (Pentane) is a unit of luminous intensity based on the light output of a pentane lamp burning at a specific rate. It was used as a standard reference for luminous intensity measurements before the adoption of more precise international standards.

History/Origin

Developed as a standardized reference for luminous intensity based on the light output of a pentane lamp burning at a controlled rate. It provided a reproducible standard for photometric measurements before the establishment of the international candle standard.

Current Use

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

Pentane Candle (10 Candle Power)

pentane candle (10 candle power)

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.
