Lumen per Steradian
lm/sr
Definition
The Lumen per Steradian is a unit of luminous intensity that is dimensionally equivalent to the candela. It represents the luminous flux emitted in a given direction per unit solid angle, providing an alternative way to express luminous intensity in terms of luminous flux.
History/Origin
Derived from the fundamental definition of the candela, which is one lumen per steradian. It provides an alternative perspective on luminous intensity by emphasizing the relationship between luminous flux and solid angle in photometric measurements.
Current Use
Widely used in theoretical photometry and in calculations where the luminous flux aspect of light is emphasized. It provides a direct link to the fundamental definitions of light measurement and is interchangeable with the candela in most practical applications.

Candle (German)
c (German)
Definition
The Candle (German) is a historical unit of luminous intensity used in Germany, equivalent to approximately 1.0526 international candles. It was based on the light output of a specific type of candle used in German photometric standards before the adoption of international standards.
History/Origin
Developed in Germany as part of their national measurement system before the widespread adoption of international standards. It was based on the light output of specific German-made candles and was used for photometric measurements in German-speaking regions.
Current Use
Primarily of historical interest, though may still be encountered in older German technical specifications or historical documents. It has been largely replaced by the international candle standard for modern applications and scientific measurements.
