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.

Footlambert (fL): Imperial Unit of Luminance

The footlambert is a non-SI unit of luminance used primarily in the United States, particularly in the cinema and projection industries. One footlambert equals approximately 3.426 candelas per square meter. This unit measures the brightness of images projected onto screens, ensuring optimal viewing conditions in theaters and auditoriums.

Professionals in the film and display sectors rely on footlambert measurements to calibrate projection systems and maintain consistent image quality. Understanding and applying this unit is essential for achieving the desired visual experience in various viewing environments.
