What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms luminance measurements from millilambert (mL), a non-SI photometric unit used in cinematography and imaging, into candela per square centimeter, a derived unit ideal for small high-brightness surfaces such as LEDs and display subpixels.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in millilambert you wish to convert.
  • Choose millilambert as the input unit and candela per square centimeter as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to receive the corresponding luminance value in candela per square centimeter.

Key Features

  • Converts luminance from millilambert to candela per square centimeter accurately according to defined conversion rates.
  • Supports legacy data transformation for cinematography, broadcast engineering, and imaging lab applications.
  • Provides easy unit selection for two specific luminance units common in display and lighting fields.

Examples

  • 5 millilamberts converts to approximately 0.0015915495 candela per square centimeter.
  • 10 millilamberts converts to approximately 0.003183099 candela per square centimeter.

Common Use Cases

  • Translating luminance from legacy cinematography units for calibration and analysis.
  • Specifying the brightness of small high-intensity light sources such as camera viewfinders or LEDs.
  • Describing luminance of display elements like CRT phosphors and OLED subpixels in engineering contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure correct selection of input and output units to maintain conversion accuracy.
  • Use this tool primarily for luminance values related to small emitting surfaces or legacy units.
  • Verify the context of your measurement to apply the appropriate luminance unit for your needs.

Limitations

  • Millilambert is a non-SI and somewhat outdated unit often limited to specific industries.
  • Candela per square centimeter is best suited for small emitting surfaces and may not apply well to large areas.
  • High precision conversion depends on exact measurements of surface area and luminous intensity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does millilambert measure?
Millilambert is a non-SI luminance unit representing the luminous intensity emitted or reflected per unit area into a unit solid angle, often used in cinematography.

Why convert millilambert to candela per square centimeter?
Converting helps translate legacy legacy luminance values to units better suited for describing brightness of small, high-intensity light sources like LEDs and display pixels.

Is candela per square centimeter an SI unit?
No, candela per square centimeter is a non-SI derived unit commonly used for small emitting areas, equal to 10,000 candela per square meter.

Key Terminology

Millilambert (mL)
A non-SI unit of luminance equal to one thousandth of a lambert, used mainly in cinematography and imaging to quantify luminous intensity from surfaces.
Candela per Square Centimeter
A non-SI luminance unit expressing luminous intensity per unit projected area, commonly applied to small, bright emitting areas like LEDs and display pixels.
Luminance
A measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
