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 Second (lm·s): Measuring Luminous Energy

The lumen second, also known as the talbot, is a unit of luminous energy, representing the total amount of light emitted over a period of time. It is calculated by multiplying luminous flux (in lumens) by time (in seconds). This unit is useful in applications where the duration of light exposure is significant, such as in photography, lighting design, and vision science.

By quantifying the cumulative light output, the lumen second allows for the assessment of energy usage, exposure levels, and the effectiveness of lighting systems over time. This information is crucial for optimizing performance, ensuring safety, and enhancing energy efficiency in various contexts.
