What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms luminance measurements from Blondel, an outdated unit used in early photometry, into Foot-lambert [fL], a modern imperial unit used primarily for measuring screen brightness and reflected luminance.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in Blondel units in the input field
  • Select Blondel as the source unit and Foot-lambert [fL] as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent Foot-lambert value
  • Use the converted result for comparison or calibration tasks

Key Features

  • Converts luminance from Blondel to Foot-lambert easily and accurately
  • Supports historical and modern engineering applications
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface
  • Facilitates comparison of older data with current display standards
  • Ideal for cinema, home theater, and projection system calibration

Examples

  • 5 Blondel converts to 0.4645152 Foot-lambert [fL]
  • 10 Blondel converts to 0.9290304 Foot-lambert [fL]

Common Use Cases

  • Translating obsolete luminance values from historical lighting reports
  • Calibrating projected-screen brightness for cinema and home theaters
  • Measuring reflected luminance in projection system design
  • Converting older data for comparison with modern imperial specifications

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify units carefully when dealing with historical measurements
  • Use this tool to bridge metric and imperial luminance systems
  • Cross-check conversions in critical engineering or calibration contexts
  • Be aware of the Blondel unit’s obsolete status and its implications

Limitations

  • Blondel is an outdated unit with slight variability due to historical measurement methods
  • Foot-lambert is not commonly used outside regions favoring imperial units
  • Conversion values should be interpreted cautiously in global applications

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Why convert Blondel to Foot-lambert?
Conversion helps compare historical luminance data with modern imperial units commonly used in cinema and home-theater brightness measurements.

Is Foot-lambert commonly used worldwide?
Foot-lambert is mostly used in imperial measurement contexts and is less common in regions dominated by the SI system.

Key Terminology

Blondel
An obsolete unit of luminance from early photometry named after André Blondel, replaced by candela per square metre.
Foot-lambert [fL]
An imperial unit of luminance measuring luminous intensity per unit projected surface, used in screen brightness and reflectance.
Luminance
A photometric measure of luminous intensity per area of light’s radiation on a surface.
