What is bril as a luminance unit?

Bril is a nonstandard luminance unit without a widely recognized definition. It is typically found in legacy or proprietary materials and should be interpreted based on the original source.

Why convert bril to skot?

Conversion helps translate legacy low-light luminance data in bril to skot, a unit historically used to describe very dim light levels under scotopic vision.

Are bril and skot used in modern measurements?

No, bril is nonstandard and skot is obsolete. Modern luminance measurement uses SI units such as candela per square meter.

Supports legacy and historical data interpretation for very dim lighting applications
Provides straightforward unit conversion aligned with documented formulas
Browser-based and easy to use for researchers and lighting professionals
Helps bridge older proprietary units with historical photometric concepts

Examples

Convert 5 bril to skot: 5 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 skot
Convert 20 bril to skot: 20 × 0.0001 = 0.002 skot

Common Use Cases

Interpreting legacy luminance data recorded in nonstandard bril units
Analyzing low-light luminance in historical vision and lighting research
Comparing or calibrating low luminance measurements using obsolete skot units
Translating proprietary brightness data for use in modern photometric contexts
Supporting studies involving scotopic vision and night-time luminance levels

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the definition of bril from original sources to ensure proper interpretation
Use the conversion primarily for legacy or proprietary data and not modern specifications
Consider transitioning to SI units such as candela per square metre for scientific work
Use this tool to assist calibration or comparison in historical lighting studies
Be aware that both bril and skot are not widely standardized units today

Limitations

Bril is a nonstandard unit with no universal definition, requiring source validation
Skot is an obsolete unit no longer used in modern luminance measurement practice
Conversion accuracy depends on original data quality due to unit nonstandardization
Modern lighting and scientific work use SI units rather than bril or skot
This conversion mainly supports legacy data interpretation, not current applications
