What Is This Tool?

This unit converter enables you to transform luminance values from foot-lambert (fL), an imperial unit measuring luminous intensity per unit projected area in a direction, into lumen per square foot per steradian, a non-SI unit expressing luminous flux per unit area per unit solid angle.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in foot-lamberts you want to convert.
  • Select foot-lambert as the input unit and lumen/square foot/steradian as the output unit.
  • Click convert to obtain the equivalent luminance in lumen per square foot per steradian.

Key Features

  • Converts luminance from foot-lambert to lumen/square foot/steradian with a precise conversion factor.
  • Supports measurements commonly used in cinema, home theater calibration, and theatrical lighting design.
  • Facilitates comparisons and calibration of displays and photometric instruments using U.S. customary units.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring technical expertise.

Examples

  • 5 foot-lamberts converts to 1.591549431 lumen/square foot/steradian.
  • 10 foot-lamberts converts to 3.183098862 lumen/square foot/steradian.

Common Use Cases

  • Measuring and specifying projected-screen brightness in cinemas and home theaters.
  • Performing calibration and testing in theater and projection system design.
  • Assessing brightness of signs, billboards, and large outdoor displays using imperial units.
  • Conducting architectural lighting design evaluations involving glare control and visual comfort.
  • Converting luminance results from photometers or luminance meters reporting in customary units.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use the converter to standardize luminance measurements across devices using imperial units.
  • Apply the conversion carefully when comparing units from SI and non-SI systems.
  • Consider environmental factors that may affect measurement accuracy beyond unit conversion.
  • Verify measurement equipment calibration to improve reliability of results.

Limitations

  • Foot-lambert is an imperial unit and not part of the international SI system.
  • Conversion precision depends on the approximation of 1/π and instrument accuracy.
  • Environmental conditions can cause variability in luminance measurements independent of conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
