What Is This Tool?

This tool converts luminance measurements from millilambert, a non-SI unit often used in cinematography and imaging, into lumen per square meter per steradian, the SI equivalent used for specifying brightness in displays and lighting.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in millilambert (mL)
  • Select millilambert as the source unit and lumen/sq. meter/steradian as the target unit
  • Click convert to get the equivalent brightness value in lumen/sq. meter/steradian
  • Use the result for display brightness specification or photometric analysis

Key Features

  • Converts millilambert (mL) to lumen/sq. meter/steradian (lm·m⁻²·sr⁻¹) units
  • Supports legacy and specialized luminance value translation for modern use
  • Browser-based, easy to use interface for quick calculations
  • Useful in fields like cinematography, broadcast engineering, and photometry

Examples

  • 2 millilambert converts to approximately 6.366 lumen/sq. meter/steradian
  • 0.5 millilambert converts to approximately 1.592 lumen/sq. meter/steradian

Common Use Cases

  • Converting older luminance measurements to SI units for calibration
  • Specifying display brightness in monitors and projectors
  • Designing lighting and signage for proper visible brightness and reduced glare
  • Performing photometric measurements and instrument calibration in imaging labs

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure clarity by specifying units when working with legacy luminance data
  • Use this tool to translate non-SI luminance units into SI equivalents for standardization
  • Cross-check conversion results in critical calibration scenarios
  • Apply conversions consistently to maintain accuracy in photometric evaluations

Limitations

  • Millilambert is a non-SI, largely outdated unit that may cause confusion if not clearly indicated
  • Differences between CGS-derived and SI units require careful interpretation
  • Precise measurements depend on correct calibration beyond mere unit conversion

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a millilambert used for?
Millilambert is used to specify luminance in fields like cinematography, broadcast engineering, and imaging laboratories, often for older or legacy equipment.

How does lumen per square meter per steradian relate to candela per square meter?
Lumen per square meter per steradian is equivalent to candela per square meter, the SI unit commonly used to express luminance.

Why convert millilambert to lumen/sq. meter/steradian?
Conversion helps translate older luminance values into SI units for compatibility with modern displays, instruments, and photometric standards.

Key Terminology

Millilambert (mL)
A non-SI unit of luminance equal to one thousandth of a lambert, used for quantifying luminous intensity per unit area into a unit solid angle.
Lumen/sq. meter/steradian
An SI-expressed measure of luminance representing luminous intensity per projected area per solid angle, equivalent to candela per square meter.
Luminance
A photometric measure of the brightness of a surface as perceived in a given direction, accounting for light emitted, reflected, or transmitted.
