Description

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.

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.
