What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows you to transform luminance measurements expressed in millilambert (mL) into candela per square inch (cd/in²). It's designed to help engineers, technicians, and imaging professionals convert legacy or regional luminance units into those commonly used in display and instrument brightness measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in millilambert (mL) that you want to convert
  • Select millilambert as the input unit and candela per square inch as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent luminance value in candela/square inch
  • Review the result and use it for your display specification or calibration needs

Key Features

  • Converts millilambert to candela/square inch accurately using the defined conversion rate
  • Supports luminance unit transformations for display and photometric engineering contexts
  • Browser-based and easy to use without additional software
  • Provides clear unit definitions and conversion examples

Examples

  • 5 millilambert (mL) converts to approximately 0.010268 cd/in²
  • 10 millilambert (mL) converts to approximately 0.020536 cd/in²

Common Use Cases

  • Translating legacy luminance measurements from millilambert to candela per square inch for equipment calibration
  • Specifying brightness for CRT displays and early flat-panel screens using imperial area units
  • Evaluating luminance of instrument panels, avionics backlights, and automotive indicators in displays
  • Characterizing luminance in imaging labs where small luminous areas are measured in inches

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify converted values for your specific application due to differences in unit systems
  • Use this converter to facilitate compatibility between metric and imperial luminance units in engineering
  • Refer to SI units like candela per square metre when precision and modern standards are required
  • Understand your equipment’s measurement units to select the appropriate conversion scale

Limitations

  • Millilambert is a non-SI, largely obsolete unit, so conversions may not be suitable for all applications
  • Conversion between metric and imperial area units can introduce rounding errors
  • Modern systems typically use SI units, making millilambert conversions less common
  • Always cross-check conversions especially in critical display calibration environments

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a millilambert?
The millilambert (mL) is a non-SI unit of luminance equal to one thousandth of a lambert, measuring luminous intensity per unit surface area into a solid angle.

Why convert millilambert to candela per square inch?
Converting millilambert to candela per square inch allows comparison and specification of display brightness in units common to certain industries and older technology using imperial measures.

Is millilambert commonly used today?
Millilambert is largely obsolete and not commonly used in modern systems, which favor SI units like candela per square metre.

Key Terminology

Millilambert (mL)
A non-SI luminance unit equal to one thousandth of a lambert, measuring luminous intensity per unit area into a solid angle.
Candela per square inch (cd/in²)
A luminance unit representing luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per square inch area.
Luminance
A measurement of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
