- Specifying brightness levels for automotive head-up displays and instrument panels
- Evaluating outdoor LED billboard and signage luminance
- Lighting design for architectural environments
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure consistent viewing geometry when measuring luminance
- Use kilocandela/square meter to express very bright luminance values clearly
- For low luminance conditions, consider remaining in candela/square meter for practicality
- Verify measurement conditions to maintain conversion accuracy
Limitations
- Conversion assumes linear relation but depends on consistent measurement geometry
- Kilocandela/square meter may be less useful for low-brightness evaluations due to small numeric results
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is candela per square meter used for?
- Candela per square meter measures luminance or brightness emitted or reflected by a surface, commonly used for display monitoring and lighting design.
- How does kilocandela per square meter relate to candela per square meter?
- One kilocandela per square meter equals 1000 candelas per square meter, used to express very bright luminance levels.
- Why convert candela/m² to kilocandela/m²?
- Converting makes it easier to represent and compare high luminance values in fields like HDR display engineering and automotive HUD design.
Key Terminology
- Candela per square meter (cd/m²)
- The SI unit of luminance representing luminous intensity emitted or reflected by a surface per unit area.
- Kilocandela per square meter (kcd/m²)
- A unit of luminance equal to 1000 candelas per square meter, used to quantify bright light intensity.
- Luminance
- The measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface in a specific direction.
