What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate luminance measurements from nits, a common unit for larger surface brightness, into candela per square centimeter, which is suited for smaller, high-intensity light-emitting surfaces.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in nits (nt) in the input field.
- Select the desired output unit as candela per square centimeter.
- Click the convert button to get the result instantly.
Key Features
- Converts luminance values from nit (cd/m²) to candela per square centimeter with precise conversion rates.
- Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.
- Useful for professionals in display engineering, lighting design, and instrumentation.
Examples
- Convert 50 Nit to candela per square centimeter: 50 × 0.0001 = 0.005 cd/cm².
- Convert 1000 Nit to candela per square centimeter: 1000 × 0.0001 = 0.1 cd/cm².
Common Use Cases
- Setting brightness specifications for TVs, monitors, and smartphones using nit values.
- Measuring and converting luminance for small display elements like camera viewfinders and LED indicators.
- Characterizing luminance on compact lighting and medical inspection lamps.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure accurate input values for reliable conversion results.
- Use candela per square centimeter for detailed luminance analysis on small surfaces.
- Consider the nature of your luminance measurement area when choosing between units.
Limitations
- Nit is better suited for larger surface luminance rather than very small scales.
- Converted values in candela per square centimeter can be very small; handle decimal values carefully.
- Both units are non-SI, so consider SI units like candela per square meter for rigorous scientific needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a nit in luminance measurement?
- A nit is a non-SI luminance unit equal to one candela per square meter, commonly used to describe brightness on display screens.
- Why convert nits to candela per square centimeter?
- This conversion is useful for quantifying luminance on smaller, high-intensity surfaces where candela per square centimeter is more representative.
- Are nits and candela per square centimeter SI units?
- No, both nits and candela per square centimeter are non-SI units, so conversions to standard SI units may be necessary for scientific work.
Key Terminology
- Nit [nt]
- A non-SI luminance unit equal to one candela per square meter, used to specify display brightness.
- Candela per square centimeter
- A non-SI luminance unit expressing luminous intensity per small projected surface area, equal to 10,000 candela per square meter.
- Luminance
- The measurement of the luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
