What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms luminance measurements from lambert, a non-SI unit used in CGS photometry, to foot-lambert, an imperial unit commonly applied in cinema, theater, and display technologies. It helps users translate surface brightness values for practical optical and visual applications.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in lambert [L]
- Select lambert as the original unit and foot-lambert as the target unit
- Click convert to get the luminance value in foot-lambert [fL]
- Use results for cinema screen calibration, home theater setup, or display testing
Key Features
- Converts luminance from lambert [L] to foot-lambert [fL] units
- Supports conversion for optical engineering and projection contexts
- Offers results based on established photometric definitions and use cases
- Easy online interface for quick and accurate unit translation
Examples
- 1 lambert [L] equals 929.03 foot-lambert [fL]
- 0.5 lambert [L] converts to approximately 464.52 foot-lambert [fL]
Common Use Cases
- Specifying surface brightness in optical engineering and photographic printing
- Measuring screen luminance in cinema projection and home theater calibration
- Comparing luminance specifications in theaters and display calibration using imperial units
- Converting older CGS luminance data to imperial for analysis and consistency
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure correct unit selection for input and output to avoid errors
- Use the converter to reconcile luminance values between CGS and imperial systems
- Consider context limitations when working with non-SI units
- Review results carefully when applying to angular luminance measurements
Limitations
- Lambert is a non-SI unit largely superseded by SI units, which might complicate conversions
- Conversion requires attention to area units (square centimeters vs. square feet) and luminance directionality
- Foot-lambert values are approximate due to conversion from metric units and constant rounding
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a lambert in luminance measurement?
- A lambert is a non-SI CGS unit of luminance used for self-luminous or diffusely reflecting surfaces, defined as 1/π candela per square centimetre.
- Why convert lambert to foot-lambert?
- Converting lambert to foot-lambert allows comparison and specification of surface brightness in imperial units commonly used in cinema, theater, and display technology.
- Is foot-lambert an SI unit?
- No, foot-lambert is an imperial unit expressing luminance typically used in cinema projection and display calibration.
Key Terminology
- Lambert [L]
- A non-SI CGS unit of luminance, representing surface brightness as 1/π candela per square centimetre.
- Foot-lambert [fL]
- An imperial luminance unit quantifying light per projected area as 1/π candela per square foot.
- Luminance
- A measure of the luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface in a specific direction.
