What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms luminance values from millilambert, a non-SI unit mostly used in imaging and cinematography, into candela per square meter, the SI unit for measuring luminous intensity per unit area.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in millilambert into the input field
- Select millilambert as the source unit and candela per square meter as the target unit
- Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent brightness in candela per square meter
- Use the converted value for analysis, calibration, or display specification
Key Features
- Converts luminance from millilambert (mL) to candela per square meter (cd/m²)
- Uses the precise conversion rate based on established definitions
- Supports legacy and specialized luminance data translation to SI units
- Browser-based and easy to use for engineers, cinematographers, and imaging professionals
Examples
- 2 mL equals approximately 6.366 cd/m²
- 0.5 mL converts to around 1.5915 cd/m²
Common Use Cases
- Translating older luminance readings from cinematography or broadcasting into SI units
- Calibrating display screens and projectors in imaging labs
- Evaluating and measuring display brightness for TVs, monitors, and HDR devices
- Assessing lighting conditions and brightness levels in architectural design
- Measuring safety and road signage luminance for compliance
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the measurement geometry and conditions to ensure accurate luminance readings
- Use standardized methods when comparing converted values for calibration or analysis
- Be aware that millilambert is a non-SI unit and may involve approximations
- Apply the conversion for legacy data to maintain consistency with modern display technologies
Limitations
- The millilambert is a non-SI unit and largely obsolete, which can cause variation in accuracy
- Measurement conditions and viewing geometry differences can impact luminance results
- Conversions are approximate and should be interpreted with awareness of context
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a millilambert unit used for?
- Millilambert is a non-SI luminance unit mainly used in cinematography, broadcast engineering, and imaging laboratories to describe luminous intensity per unit area.
- Why convert millilambert to candela per square meter?
- Converting to candela per square meter allows for consistent analysis, calibration, and measurement using the modern SI standard in display technology and lighting design.
- Are conversions from millilambert exact?
- No, since millilambert is a non-SI and largely obsolete unit, conversions may involve approximations depending on measurement conditions.
Key Terminology
- Millilambert [mL]
- A non-SI luminance unit equal to one thousandth of a lambert, used to quantify luminous intensity emitted or reflected per unit area and solid angle.
- Candela per square meter (cd/m²)
- The SI unit of luminance that measures the luminous intensity of a surface per projected unit area in a specified direction, often called a nit.
- Lambert
- A CGS-derived photometric unit of luminance, largely obsolete but still encountered in some imaging and cinematography contexts.
