Limitations
- Candela/square foot and foot-lambert describe related but distinct luminance properties—apparent brightness versus projected brightness
- Conversion involves the irrational number π, which may lead to minor rounding differences
- Both units are non-SI and may require careful use when integrating with SI-based measurement systems or standards
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does candela per square foot measure?
- Candela per square foot indicates the luminous intensity per unit area expressed in square feet, showing the apparent brightness of a surface.
- Why is foot-lambert used in cinema and theater?
- Foot-lambert quantifies the luminance emitted or reflected from surfaces per unit projected area, making it practical for screen brightness and projection system calibration.
- Can I directly compare candela/square foot values with foot-lambert?
- While related, these units represent different luminance characteristics, so conversions should consider directional measurement contexts.
Key Terminology
- Candela per square foot
- A luminance unit showing luminous intensity emitted or reflected per unit area of one square foot, representing apparent brightness.
- Foot-lambert [fL]
- An imperial unit of luminance expressing luminous intensity emitted or reflected per unit projected area in a given direction, defined as 1/π candela per square foot.
