What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps translate luminance measurements from blondel, an outdated unit, into candela per square centimeter, a contemporary unit commonly used for small, bright emitting surfaces.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value measured in blondel.
  • Select blondel as the input unit and candela/square centimeter as the output unit.
  • Click convert to view the equivalent luminance in candela per square centimeter.

Key Features

  • Converts luminance units from blondel to candela per square centimeter.
  • Simplifies translating historical photometric data for modern analysis.
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.

Examples

  • A luminance of 5 blondel converts to 0.000159155 candela per square centimeter.
  • A luminance of 10 blondel converts to 0.00031831 candela per square centimeter.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting vintage luminance measurements found in early 20th-century photometry literature.
  • Comparing legacy data with current display and lighting technologies requiring candela per square centimeter units.
  • Analyzing brightness of small, high-intensity light emitting surfaces in engineering and research.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the context of historical data to understand the original blondel measurement circumstances.
  • Apply conversions carefully when dealing with large surfaces to avoid misinterpretation due to unit suitability.
  • Use the converted values in conjunction with modern lighting standards for accurate comparison.

Limitations

  • Blondel is an obsolete unit, so original measurements may lack precision.
  • Candela per square centimeter is best for small emitting areas; unsuitable scaling for larger surfaces can lead to errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the blondel unit?
Blondel is an obsolete photometric unit of luminance named after André Blondel, used mainly in early 20th-century photometry and replaced by candela per square meter.

When should I convert from blondel to candela per square centimeter?
When you need to interpret historical luminance data for small, high-intensity emitting surfaces and compare it with modern measurements.

Is candela per square centimeter an SI unit?
No, it is a non-SI derived unit commonly used for luminance measurements of small emitting areas.

Key Terminology
