What Is This Tool?
This tool converts luminance values from lambert, a historical non-SI unit used mainly in optical engineering and projection, to nit, a widely used unit in modern display and lighting technologies expressing brightness in candela per square meter.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in lambert [L]
- Select lambert as the input unit and nit as the output unit
- Click convert to see the equivalent luminance value in nit [nt]
- Review the result and use for optical, display, or lighting applications
Key Features
- Converts luminance from lambert [L] to nit [nt] accurately
- Supports legacy and modern unit comparisons in lighting contexts
- Browser-based and easy to use for professionals and hobbyists
- Provides examples illustrating conversion calculations
- Helps translate older CGS unit data to standardized SI-related units
Examples
- 2 Lambert [L] converts to approximately 6366.2 Nit [nt]
- 0.5 Lambert [L] equals about 1591.5 Nit [nt]
Common Use Cases
- Translating older CGS-based luminance data into modern SI-related units
- Analyzing projector screen brightness and cinema projection specifications
- Specifying luminance levels for digital displays like TVs and smartphones
- Determining required brightness for outdoor signage and digital billboards

Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure unit consistency when working with legacy and modern luminance values
- Use this converter to facilitate comparison across different measurement standards
- Apply converted values carefully in optical and display engineering designs
- Cross-check converted results if precise luminance calibration is required
Limitations
- Lambert is a non-SI unit based on CGS units and less common in contemporary use
- Nit is tied to SI units and standard in current display and lighting industries
- Care is necessary to maintain precision due to differences in unit systems
- Lambert is mainly relevant for historical or legacy data rather than new measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the lambert unit measure?
- Lambert measures luminance for self-luminous or diffusely reflecting surfaces, based on CGS units, historically used in optical and projection fields.
- Where is the nit unit commonly used?
- Nit is commonly used in display and lighting engineering to indicate brightness levels of screens, signage, and vehicle displays.
- Why convert from lambert to nit?
- Converting helps translate older or CGS-based luminance data into nit units that are standard for modern display technologies and lighting specifications.
- Is the conversion between lambert and nit exact?
- The conversion uses a defined rate, but care should be taken due to differences between CGS and SI unit systems.
Key Terminology
- Lambert [L]
- A non-SI CGS unit of luminance representing brightness of self-luminous or diffusely reflecting surfaces, historically used in optical engineering.
- Nit [nt]
- A non-SI unit of luminance equal to one candela per square meter, widely used for measuring brightness in displays and lighting.
- Luminance
- A measurement of the luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
