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.

Stilb (sb): CGS Unit of Luminance

The stilb is a unit of luminance in the CGS system, where one stilb equals 10,000 candelas per square meter. Although it is not commonly used in contemporary applications, the stilb serves as a historical unit for measuring high-intensity luminance, particularly in scientific research and specialized fields.

While the SI unit cd/m² has largely replaced the stilb, knowledge of this unit is useful when interpreting older scientific data or working within specific contexts that utilize CGS units. Understanding the conversion between stilb and cd/m² ensures accurate communication and analysis of luminance measurements.
