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.

Lumen (lm): Measuring Luminous Flux

The lumen is the SI unit of luminous flux, quantifying the total amount of visible light emitted by a source per unit of time. One lumen is defined as the luminous flux emitted within a unit solid angle (one steradian) by a point source with a uniform luminous intensity of one candela. This unit is crucial for evaluating the overall brightness of light sources, such as bulbs and LEDs.

In practical terms, lumens provide a direct measure of a light source's output, enabling consumers and professionals to assess and compare the brightness of different lighting products. Higher lumen values indicate greater light output, which is essential for applications requiring specific illumination levels, from residential lighting to commercial and industrial settings.
