What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms luminance values from foot-lambert (fL) to candela per square foot. Both units measure surface brightness in imperial terms and are commonly used in cinema projection, home-theater calibration, and display technology design.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in foot-lambert (fL)
  • Select the target unit as candela per square foot
  • Click convert to obtain the equivalent luminance value
  • Use the conversion factor of 1 foot-lambert = 0.3183098862 candela per square foot for manual calculations if needed

Key Features

  • Converts luminance measurements between foot-lambert and candela per square foot
  • Supports imperial unit conversions relevant to display and projection brightness
  • Provides practical examples for quick reference
  • Browser-based and easy to use without additional software

Examples

  • 5 foot-lamberts converts to 1.591549431 candela per square foot
  • 10 foot-lamberts converts to 3.183098862 candela per square foot

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying and measuring projected-screen brightness in cinemas and home theaters
  • Designing and testing theater projection systems
  • Calibrating display brightness where imperial units are standard
  • Lighting design and signage assessments that use square-foot area units

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent measurement of projected area when using foot-lambert values
  • Use precise calculations involving the factor 1/π for accurate conversions
  • Confirm instrument calibration to maintain measurement reliability
  • Remember that both units are imperial and may require conversion for international standards

Limitations

  • Precision is essential due to the 1/π factor in foot-lambert definitions
  • Imperial units like these are less common globally, requiring extra conversion steps when working internationally
  • Measurement depends on consistent area definitions and instrument calibration

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the foot-lambert used for?
Foot-lambert measures luminance, often to specify projected screen brightness in cinemas and home theater calibration.

How do foot-lambert and candela per square foot relate?
One foot-lambert equals approximately 0.3183 candela per square foot, both expressing luminous intensity per unit area.

Why might I convert between these two units?
Converting helps compare and calibrate luminance values in systems or specifications that use different but related imperial units.

Key Terminology

Foot-lambert [fL]
An imperial luminance unit measuring luminous intensity per projected area; one foot-lambert equals 1/π candela per square foot.
Candela per square foot
A luminance unit expressing brightness as luminous intensity per square foot; used commonly in imperial measurement contexts.
Luminance
The measurement of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area.
