What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms values from candela steradian per square meter, a commonly used measure of illuminance, into lumen per square centimeter, a unit suited for smaller-scale brightness measurement on tiny surfaces.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the illuminance value in candela steradian per square meter.
  • Select the target unit lumen per square centimeter for conversion.
  • Click convert to get the equivalent value instantly.

Key Features

  • Converts illuminance between candela steradian/sq. meter and lumen/square centimeter units.
  • Based on established photometric equivalences and conversion rates.
  • Supports precise measurement needs in lighting design and scientific photometry.

Examples

  • Convert 50 candela steradian/sq. meter to lumen/square centimeter results in 0.005 lumen/sq. cm.
  • Convert 200 candela steradian/sq. meter to lumen/square centimeter results in 0.02 lumen/sq. cm.

Common Use Cases

  • Determining indoor lighting levels in workplaces with lux standards.
  • Assessing brightness of small high-power LEDs or LED dies using per cm² intensity.
  • Measuring illumination on microscope slides or compact sensor surfaces in laboratories.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input values reflect uniform illumination for accurate conversion results.
  • Use per square centimeter metrics when dealing with small devices or optical components.
  • Be mindful of the scale difference when interpreting converted brightness values.

Limitations

  • Be cautious with measurement accuracy due to the smaller surface basis of lumen/sq. cm.
  • Conversion assumes uniform lighting and does not consider directional light distribution.
  • Unit interpretation must consider substantial differences in area scale to avoid misrepresentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does candela steradian per square meter measure?
It measures illuminance, equivalent to the luminous flux per unit area, numerically equal to lux.

When would I use lumen per square centimeter?
It's used to specify brightness on small surfaces such as LEDs, microscope slides, or small optical components.

Is the conversion linear between these units?
Yes, the conversion follows a fixed rate where 1 candela steradian/sq. meter equals 0.0001 lumen/square centimeter.

Key Terminology

Candela steradian/sq. meter
A unit measuring illuminance equivalent to luminous flux per square meter, numerically equal to lux.
Lumen/square centimeter
A photometric unit expressing luminous flux incident on one square centimeter of surface, representing perceived brightness.
Illuminance
The total luminous flux incident on a surface per unit area, indicating how much light is received.
