Description

Candela per Square Meter (cd/m²): Standard Unit of Luminance

Candela per square meter is the SI unit of luminance, measuring the luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface in a given direction per unit area. This unit is commonly used to describe the brightness of displays, screens, and illuminated surfaces, providing a standardized measure for evaluating visual performance.

In practical applications, cd/m² values are critical for calibrating monitors, televisions, and other display devices to ensure consistent brightness and image quality. Accurate luminance measurements contribute to visual comfort, energy efficiency, and compliance with industry standards in various sectors, including consumer electronics, broadcasting, and lighting design.

Footcandle (fc): Imperial Unit of Illuminance

The footcandle is a non-SI unit of illuminance used primarily in the United States. It is defined as the illuminance on a one-square-foot surface from a uniform source of light equivalent to one lumen. One footcandle equals approximately 10.764 lux. Despite the global shift towards SI units, the footcandle remains prevalent in certain industries and applications.

Understanding footcandles is important for professionals working in lighting design, architecture, and photography within regions that use imperial measurements. It allows for the assessment and specification of lighting requirements, ensuring that spaces are adequately illuminated according to established standards and practices.
