Frequently Asked Questions

What is stilb (sb)?
Stilb (sb) is a CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square metre, measuring the luminous intensity emitted or reflected per unit area.

Is bril a standard luminance unit?
No, bril is not a widely recognized or standardized unit and is often a local or proprietary term needing confirmation from original sources.

Why convert from stilb to bril?
Conversion helps interpret or translate legacy or proprietary luminance data where the nonstandard unit 'bril' appears, clarifying measurements.

Can I use bril for scientific reports?
It is recommended to avoid using bril in scientific or engineering specifications due to its lack of formal definition.

Key Terminology

Stilb (sb)
A CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square metre, indicating luminous intensity emitted or reflected per area.
Bril
A nonstandard, likely local or proprietary luminance unit without formal recognition; its meaning should be verified from primary sources.
Luminance
A measurement of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction, commonly expressed in candela per square metre.
