What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change luminance measurements from skot, a deprecated unit for very low light levels, into candela per square foot, a unit common in imperial contexts for measuring surface brightness.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value measured in skot.
- Select 'Skot' as the source unit and 'Candela/square foot' as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to get the result.
- Review and use the converted value for lighting design or data analysis.
Key Features
- Converts obsolete photometric units to practical luminance units.
- Supports skot to candela per square foot conversion for historical data usage.
- Browser-based and easy-to-use interface for accurate unit translation.
- Helps compare legacy low-light measurements with modern standards.
Examples
- 5 Skot converts to 0.00014786 Candela per square foot.
- 10 Skot converts to 0.00029572 Candela per square foot.
Common Use Cases
- Analyzing historical night-time luminance data in modern units.
- Calibrating sensors based on old low-light photometric information.
- Measuring and specifying display brightness in imperial measurements.
- Adjusting cinema and theater projection luminance with legacy data.
Tips & Best Practices
- Use this conversion primarily for interpreting or comparing historical data.
- Consider converting to SI units for international standardization when possible.
- Be mindful of instrument sensitivity due to very low luminance levels involved.
- Cross-verify converted values when applying them to modern lighting designs.
Limitations
- Skot is outdated and not used in current photometry practice.
- Candela per square foot is a non-SI unit, so international standards may prefer SI usage.
- Low luminance values mean measurement precision is critical.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is skot used for?
- Skot was used historically to measure very low luminance levels encountered under dark-adapted vision but is now obsolete.
- Why convert skot to candela per square foot?
- Converting helps modernize legacy low-light data so it can be used in contemporary lighting design or imperial measurement contexts.
- Is candela per square foot an SI unit?
- No, candela per square foot is a non-SI unit commonly used in areas measured in square feet.
Key Terminology
- Skot
- An obsolete photometric unit for very low luminance levels under scotopic vision, no longer used in modern practice.
- Candela per square foot
- A non-SI luminance unit indicating luminous intensity per square foot of surface area, used mainly in imperial measurement contexts.
- Luminance
- A photometric measure describing the brightness of a surface emitting or reflecting light per unit area.
