What is lumen/sq. cm/steradian used for?

It is a photometric unit measuring luminance, commonly used for characterizing brightness of very small or high-intensity light sources and pixels as well as in optical and photometric design.

Is bril a standard scientific unit?

No, bril is a nonstandard, local, or proprietary term without wide recognition or standardization in luminance measurement.

Why should I confirm the meaning of bril?

Because bril is not standardized, its definition can vary; confirming its meaning from the original source ensures accurate interpretation and usage.
