What Is This Tool?

This tool converts luminance values from blondel, an obsolete unit named after André Blondel, to kilocandela per square meter, a standard unit measuring luminous intensity per unit area used in many photometric applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in blondels into the input field
  • Select blondel as the source unit and kilocandela per square meter as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent luminance in kilocandelas per square meter

Key Features

  • Converts luminance from blondel to kilocandela per square meter precisely using an established conversion factor
  • Easy to use online interface suitable for researchers, engineers, and lighting designers
  • Supports understanding and updating historical photometric data to modern standards

Examples

  • 1 blondel equals 0.0003183099 kilocandela per square meter
  • 10 blondels convert to 0.003183099 kilocandela per square meter

Common Use Cases

  • Updating historical luminance values found in early 20th-century photometry literature
  • Comparing obsolete measurement results with current photometric data in lighting engineering
  • Applying luminance data in display technology, automotive HUD design, and outdoor signage

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the historical context when working with blondel measurements due to slight variability
  • Use this conversion to maintain consistency when analyzing older data alongside modern units
  • Handle small numerical results carefully to preserve accuracy in brightness assessments

Limitations

  • Blondel is an obsolete unit, so equivalences may vary depending on the original measuring conditions
  • The conversion factor is small, resulting in very low kilocandela per square meter values requiring attention to precision

Frequently Asked Questions
