What Is This Tool?

This tool converts luminance values from lambert, a non-SI unit commonly used in CGS systems, to candela per square inch, a unit widely used in display and photometric engineering to measure surface brightness.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in lambert [L] you wish to convert
  • Select lambert [L] as the source unit and candela per square inch as the target unit
  • Click convert to obtain the equivalent luminance in candela per square inch

Key Features

  • Simple conversion between lambert [L] and candela/square inch with a fixed conversion rate
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick luminance calculations
  • Supports conversions relevant to optical, display, avionics, and automotive lighting contexts

Examples

  • 3 Lambert [L] equals 6.1608241851 candela/square inch
  • 0.5 Lambert [L] converts to 1.02680403085 candela/square inch

Common Use Cases

  • Translating older CGS-based luminance measurements to modern display units
  • Specifying brightness levels for CRT and early flat-panel screens
  • Photometric evaluation of small luminous indicators and instrument-panel backlights

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input luminance values are measured from uniform surfaces for accurate conversion
  • Use the tool for quick unit translations when dealing with historical or legacy photometric data
  • Be mindful of differences in area units when interpreting results in practical applications

Limitations

  • Lambert is a non-SI unit, so precision may vary when converting to candela per square inch
  • Area unit differences between square centimeters and square inches can introduce rounding variations
  • Measurements depend on surface uniformity which affects conversion accuracy

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lambert unit used for?
The lambert is a CGS luminance unit used for measuring brightness of self-luminous or diffusely reflecting surfaces, commonly in optical engineering and printing.

Why convert lambert to candela per square inch?
Converting lambert to candela/square inch helps interpret older CGS photometric data into units suited for modern display and small-area luminance measurements.

Does this tool consider measurement precision?
The tool provides direct conversion based on a fixed rate but users should consider measurement precision and surface uniformity when using results.

Key Terminology

Lambert [L]
A non-SI CGS unit of luminance representing brightness of self-luminous or diffusely reflecting surfaces.
Candela per square inch
A unit measuring luminance as luminous intensity per unit apparent area in inches, used in photometric and display engineering.
Luminance
The measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface in a given direction per unit area.
