What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms illumination measurements from lumen per square centimeter, a small-scale brightness unit, to candela steradian per square meter, a standard SI illuminance unit. It helps users interpret detailed photometric data in widely recognized lighting terms.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in lumen/square centimeter you wish to convert.
  • Select lumen/square centimeter as the input unit and candela steradian per square meter as the output unit.
  • Press the convert button to receive the equivalent illumination measurement.
  • Use the result for lighting analysis, calibration, or design purposes.

Key Features

  • Converts lumen/square centimeter values directly to candela steradian per square meter.
  • Facilitates comparison between small-scale and standard illumination units.
  • Supports applications in LED manufacturing, laboratory photometry, lighting design, and photography.
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.

Examples

  • 0.5 lumen/square centimeter converts to 5000 candela steradian/sq. meter.
  • 2 lumen/square centimeter converts to 20000 candela steradian/sq. meter.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying output intensity of small high-power LEDs or LED dies in terms of brightness per area.
  • Determining illuminance on microscope slides or small sensors in laboratory photometry.
  • Calibrating light meters for precision photography and instrument calibration.
  • Designing and verifying lighting levels in offices, classrooms, roadways, and outdoor environments.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure that the surface illumination is uniform when applying conversions for accurate results.
  • Consider environmental and geometric factors that might affect light measurements in practical use.
  • Use this conversion to translate small-scale photometric data into standard units compatible with lighting standards.
  • Apply the tool for precise calibration of displays and optical components requiring per-square-centimeter metrics.

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes uniform light distribution on surfaces without accounting for directionality or spectral qualities.
  • Environmental conditions and measurement setup can influence actual illumination beyond the unit conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does lumen per square centimeter measure?
It measures illuminance as the luminous flux falling on each square centimeter of a surface, representing perceived brightness weighted by human eye sensitivity.

Is candela steradian per square meter equivalent to lux?
Yes, in photometric contexts, 1 candela steradian per square meter equals 1 lumen per square meter, which is the definition of lux.

Why convert lumen/square centimeter to candela steradian/sq. meter?
Converting helps translate precise, small-scale brightness data into commonly used SI illuminance units, improving compatibility with lighting design and calibration standards.

Key Terminology

Lumen/square centimeter
A photometric unit expressing luminous flux incident on one square centimeter of a surface, indicating brightness on small areas.
Candela steradian per square meter
A measure of illuminance numerically equal to lux, representing luminous flux per unit area in SI photometric units.
Illuminance
The luminous flux per unit area incident on a surface, usually measured in lux or equivalent units.
