What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms luminance measurements given in candela per square centimeter into nits [nt]. It is designed for professionals needing to express small, intense light source brightness in more commonly used luminance units.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in candela per square centimeter.
  • Select the target unit as nit [nt].
  • Click convert to receive the corresponding luminance in nits.
  • Use the result to compare or specify display and lighting brightness.

Key Features

  • Converts candela per square centimeter to nit with straightforward input.
  • Expresses luminance for small, high-intensity light-emitting areas.
  • Supports applications in display, lighting, and instrument panel design.
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.

Examples

  • 0.5 candela/square centimeter equals 5000 nit [nt].
  • 2 candela/square centimeter equals 20000 nit [nt].

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying brightness of small display components like camera viewfinders and LED indicators.
  • Describing luminance of display subpixels such as CRT phosphors and OLED elements.
  • Calibrating brightness for instrument panels and surgical or inspection lighting.
  • Ensuring readable luminance for vehicle dashboards and aviation cockpit screens.
  • Defining luminance levels for outdoor signage and digital displays.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Understand the specific luminance application to select appropriate units.
  • Consider surface area differences when converting between small and larger light sources.
  • Use converted values to maintain clarity in engineering specifications and standards.

Limitations

  • Candela per square centimeter applies primarily to small emitting surfaces; applying conversions without area context may be misleading.
  • Both candela/square centimeter and nit are non-SI units and require careful handling for consistency in scientific or regulatory contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does candela per square centimeter measure?
It measures luminous intensity emitted per unit projected area of a surface, mainly for small, bright light sources.

How many nits are equal to 1 candela per square centimeter?
One candela per square centimeter equals 10,000 nits.

Where is this conversion commonly used?
It is commonly applied in display manufacturing, lighting engineering, and brightness calibration for instrument panels and signage.

Key Terminology

Candela per square centimeter
A unit indicating luminous intensity emitted over a small projected surface area, often used for high-intensity small light sources.
Nit [nt]
A unit of luminance equal to one candela per square meter, commonly used to describe display brightness.
