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.

Definition
The Decimal Candle is numerically equivalent to one international candle and represents a decimal-based approach to luminous intensity measurement. It provides a convenient reference point for calculations and conversions in photometric applications.
History/Origin
Developed as part of the decimal system of measurements, providing a standardized unit for luminous intensity that aligns with metric principles. It was designed to simplify calculations and provide a consistent reference for light measurement across different applications.
Current Use
Used in various photometric applications where decimal-based calculations are preferred. It provides a convenient reference for scientific measurements and is often used in educational contexts to explain luminous intensity concepts.
