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.

Lambert (L): Unit of Luminance for Diffuse Surfaces

The lambert is a non-SI unit of luminance used to measure the brightness of perfectly diffusing surfaces. One lambert equals 3,183.0988618 candelas per square meter. This unit is primarily utilized in photometry and radiometry to describe the luminance of surfaces that scatter light uniformly in all directions.

Understanding the lambert is important for professionals in fields such as lighting design, astronomy, and material science, where accurate measurements of diffuse reflectance are necessary. While not commonly used in everyday applications, the lambert provides valuable insights into the behavior of light on matte surfaces.
