Description

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 Although it is not commonly used in modern applications, the phot provides a historical reference point for high-intensity lighting measurements, particularly in scientific research and specialized fields.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.

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.
