Description

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.

Footlambert (fL): Imperial Unit of Luminance

The footlambert is a non-SI unit of luminance used primarily in the United States, particularly in the cinema and projection industries. One footlambert equals approximately 3.426 candelas per square meter. This unit measures the brightness of images projected onto screens, ensuring optimal viewing conditions in theaters and auditoriums.

Professionals in the film and display sectors rely on footlambert measurements to calibrate projection systems and maintain consistent image quality. Understanding and applying this unit is essential for achieving the desired visual experience in various viewing environments.
