What Is This Tool?
This tool converts luminance values from skot, an outdated unit used for very low light levels, to lumen per square centimetre per steradian, a modern photometric unit for small-area high brightness measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in skot units
- Select skot as the original unit and lumen/sq. cm/steradian as the target unit
- Click convert to get the equivalent luminance value in lumen per square centimetre per steradian
Key Features
- Allows quick conversion from skot to lumen/sq. cm/steradian
- Supports interpretation of low-light and historical luminance data
- Browser-based and user-friendly interface for easy input and results
Examples
- 10 Skot converts to 3.1830988618379e-7 Lumen/sq. cm/steradian
- 0.5 Skot converts to 1.59154943091895e-8 Lumen/sq. cm/steradian
Common Use Cases
- Translating historical night-time or very low-light luminance data for modern analysis
- Characterizing brightness of small or intense light sources like micro-LEDs
- Calibrating luminance meters and comparing legacy data to current SI standards
Tips & Best Practices
- Use this tool to bridge old and modern photometric measurements accurately
- Be cautious interpreting very small values due to numerical precision limits
- Ensure the application context matches the luminance scale for meaningful conversion
Limitations
- The skot is no longer a standard unit and is obsolete in modern photometry
- Low-value conversions require careful consideration of numerical accuracy
- Lumen/sq. cm/steradian units are applicable mostly to high-brightness or small-area sources—scale mismatches can reduce usefulness
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is skot used for?
- Skot was used to measure very low luminance levels under dark-adapted vision, mainly in historical lighting studies and low-light measurements.
- Why convert skot to lumen/sq. cm/steradian?
- Converting skot to lumen/sq. cm/steradian helps translate obsolete low-light data into a modern unit suitable for precise optical analysis and calibration.
- Are there limitations converting skot values?
- Yes, skot is obsolete and conversions involve very small numbers, so care is needed to maintain accuracy and ensure proper application context.
Key Terminology
- Skot
- An outdated photometric unit representing very low luminance levels under scotopic vision, no longer used in modern practice.
- Lumen per square centimetre per steradian
- A luminance unit quantifying luminous flux passing through a surface area per solid angle, equivalent to candela per square centimetre.
- Luminance
- The measure of luminous intensity per unit area, indicating brightness perceived from a surface.
