What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert luminance values expressed in Skot, an outdated unit for very low light levels, into Foot-lambert (fL), an imperial unit commonly applied in display and projection brightness measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in Skot you want to convert
  • Select Skot as the input unit and Foot-lambert [fL] as the output unit
  • Click convert to see the equivalent luminance in Foot-lambert

Key Features

  • Converts very low luminance levels from Skot to Foot-lambert [fL]
  • Supports conversion relevant to legacy and modern luminance comparisons
  • Browser-based and easy to use for lighting and vision study applications

Examples

  • 10 Skot converts to 0.00092903 Foot-lambert [fL]
  • 100 Skot converts to 0.0092903 Foot-lambert [fL]

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting low-light luminance data from historical photometry
  • Converting legacy scotopic vision measurements for modern sensor calibration
  • Specifying brightness levels in cinema and home theater projection using Foot-lambert units

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion mainly for evaluating and comparing historical luminance data
  • Ensure careful handling due to the very low conversion factor from Skot to Foot-lambert
  • Reference modern SI luminance units for precise and current measurements

Limitations

  • Skot is an obsolete, non-SI unit rarely applied today
  • Conversions mainly serve to interpret legacy data rather than current measurements
  • Modern instrumentation typically uses SI luminance units rather than Skot

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Skot unit used for?
Skot was used to measure very low luminance levels under scotopic (dark-adapted) vision, primarily in older lighting and vision studies.

Why convert Skot to Foot-lambert?
Converting Skot to Foot-lambert helps compare legacy low-light measurements with modern brightness specifications in cinema, display, and projection technologies.

Is Skot commonly used today?
No, Skot is obsolete and has been replaced by SI units like candela per square meter for luminance measurements.

Key Terminology

Skot
An obsolete photometric unit for very low luminance levels under scotopic vision, no longer used in modern practice.
Foot-lambert [fL]
An imperial unit of luminance measuring luminous intensity per projected area, used in display and projection brightness.
Luminance
A photometric measure of the luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
