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.

Phot (ph): CGS Unit of Illuminance

The phot is a unit of illuminance in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, where one phot equals 10,000 lux. Although it is not commonly used in modern applications, the phot provides a historical reference point for high-intensity lighting measurements, particularly in scientific research and specialized fields.

While the SI unit lux has largely supplanted the phot, familiarity with this unit can be beneficial when interpreting older scientific literature or working within specific contexts where CGS units are still in use. Recognizing the conversion between phot and lux ensures accurate understanding and communication of illuminance values.
