What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows users to transform illumination measurements from the obsolete centimeter-candle unit to lumen per square centimeter. It provides a practical way to interpret legacy photometric data in modern terms.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the illumination value measured in centimeter-candle (cm*c).
- Select centimeter-candle as the input unit and lumen/square centimeter as the output unit.
- Click convert to obtain the equivalent illuminance in lumen per square centimeter.
- Use the result to analyze or calibrate lighting data according to current standards.
Key Features
- Converts illumination values from centimeter-candle to lumen/square centimeter accurately.
- Supports interpretation of historical photometry data and calibration of optical instruments.
- Browser-based and easy-to-use interface requiring minimal input.
- Helps in comparing brightness levels of small light sources and optical components.
- Facilitates updates from obsolete units to modern photometric standards.
Examples
- 5 centimeter-candle [cm*c] converts to 5 lumen/square centimeter.
- 0.1 centimeter-candle [cm*c] converts to 0.1 lumen/square centimeter.
Common Use Cases
- Updating or interpreting older lighting data expressed in candle-based units.
- Comparing or calibrating brightness levels for LEDs and filament lamps in historical documents.
- Measuring illuminance on small sensor surfaces or microscope slides in laboratory settings.
- Calibrating brightness of small displays and optical components with per-square-centimeter metrics.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the original context when working with obsolete units like the centimeter-candle to avoid confusion.
- Use this conversion to align legacy data with modern SI-based measurement units.
- Be mindful of the very high illuminance values involved due to small measurement areas.
- Cross-check converted results when calibrating sensitive optical instruments for accuracy.
Limitations
- Centimeter-candle is an outdated unit and may lead to misunderstandings if not properly contextualized.
- Both units indicate very high illuminance on small areas, requiring careful scale interpretation.
- Conversion is direct but users must ensure correct application in modern photometry contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a centimeter-candle?
- A centimeter-candle is an obsolete unit of illuminance representing the light on a surface one centimetre from a point source of one candle, historically used in photometry.
- How does lumen/square centimeter relate to lux?
- One lumen per square centimeter is equivalent to 10,000 lux, quantifying brightness per unit area considering human eye response.
- Why convert centimeter-candle to lumen/square centimeter?
- Conversion helps update and interpret legacy photometric data using modern, standardized illumination units.
Key Terminology
- Centimeter-candle [cm*c]
- An obsolete illuminance unit representing light on a surface one centimetre from a point source of one candle, historically used in photometry.
- Lumen/square centimeter
- A measure of illuminance indicating luminous flux per square centimeter surface area, directly convertible to lux.
- Illuminance
- The amount of luminous flux incident on a surface per unit area, perceived as brightness.
