What Is This Tool?

This tool enables conversion from lambert, a non-SI luminance unit, to blondel, an obsolete photometric luminance unit. It helps translate measurements found in historical and legacy lighting data into a recognizable older unit used in early 20th-century photometry.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in lambert (L) to be converted
  • Select lambert as the source unit and blondel as the target unit
  • Execute the conversion to obtain the equivalent value in blondel
  • Use the result to compare historical luminance data or analyze archival measurements

Key Features

  • Converts lambert (L) to blondel using established conversion factors
  • Supports analysis of historical and archival luminance data
  • Browser-based and easy to operate
  • Provides a direct conversion formula for clarity
  • Useful for professionals in photometry and optical engineering

Examples

  • 1 L = 10000 Blondel
  • 0.5 L = 5000 Blondel

Common Use Cases

  • Analyzing surface brightness in optical engineering and photographic printing
  • Converting legacy cinema projection luminance data
  • Interpreting older photometric literature with blondel units
  • Translating CGS-based photometric measurements to pre-SI units for comparison

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure source values are correctly identified as lambert units before converting
  • Use this conversion primarily for historical or comparative research
  • Be cautious of differences between CGS and SI unit conventions when interpreting results
  • Understand that blondel is an outdated unit, thus conversions are mostly relevant in archival contexts

Limitations

  • Blondel is an obsolete luminance unit, rarely used in modern applications
  • Lambert is not part of the SI system, so direct scientific comparisons may be complex
  • Unit system differences require careful consideration for accuracy
  • The tool is intended mostly for historical data comparison rather than current luminance measurements

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lambert unit used for?
Lambert is a CGS-based unit of luminance often used in optical engineering and photography to specify surface brightness.

Why convert lambert to blondel?
Converting from lambert to blondel helps interpret older photometric data where blondel was the standard before SI units were adopted.

Is blondel still used today?
No, blondel is an obsolete unit mainly found in historical photometry and early lighting literature.

Key Terminology

Lambert [L]
A non-SI luminance unit equal to 1/π candela per square centimetre, used historically in CGS-based photometric measurements.
Blondel
An obsolete unit of luminance named after André Blondel, used in early 20th-century photometry and replaced by the candela per square metre.
Luminance
A photometric measure of luminous intensity per unit area of light traveling in a given direction.
