Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure accurate measurement of luminous surface area when using these units
- Be cautious integrating with SI-based systems since stilb and candela/cm² are non-SI
- Use this conversion tool specifically for surface luminance values, not ambient or volumetric light
- Cross-check converted values when dealing with critical brightness calibration tasks
- Utilize this tool when working with historical data reported in CGS units for consistent interpretation
Limitations
- The stilb is a CGS unit and candela per square centimeter is a non-SI derived unit, requiring careful consistency checks
- These units measure only surface luminance, not volumetric or ambient light intensity
- Measurement uncertainties in luminous surface area can affect conversion accuracy
- Not suitable for applications needing SI standard units without appropriate conversion
- Use caution when mixing with values in candela per square meter or other SI luminance units
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is stilb [sb] used for?
- Stilb [sb] is a CGS unit of luminance used to quantify luminous intensity per unit area in optical research and historical photometric data.
- Why convert stilb to candela per square centimeter?
- Converting stilb to candela per square centimeter helps translate legacy CGS measurements into a unit better suited for small high-intensity light surfaces common in display technologies.
- Can I use this conversion for ambient light measurements?
- No, these units specifically refer to surface luminance and are not meaningful for volumetric or ambient light evaluations.
Key Terminology
- Stilb [sb]
- A CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square meter, measuring luminous intensity emitted or reflected per unit area.
- Candela per square centimeter
