What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert luminance measurements from stilb (sb), a CGS photometric unit, into candela per square foot, an imperial unit used to express luminous intensity per unit area.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in stilb (sb) that you want to convert.
- Select stilb as the input unit and candela per square foot as the output unit.
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent luminance value in candela per square foot.
- Use the result for lighting specification, research, or display calibration needs.
Key Features
- Converts luminance values between stilb and candela per square foot accurately using the defined conversion rate.
- Supports usage scenarios in optical research, lighting design, and display brightness calibration.
- Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output formats.
- Useful for translating historical photometric data into practical units for modern applications.
Examples
- 2 stilb (sb) equals approximately 1858.06 candela per square foot.
- 0.5 stilb (sb) converts to about 464.52 candela per square foot.
Common Use Cases
- Converting historical or legacy luminance data reported in CGS units into imperial units.
- Specifying and verifying display screen brightness where area is measured in square feet.
- Calibrating projection screen luminance in cinema and theater environments.
- Lighting design and signage assessments following imperial measurement standards.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure you understand the context of units to maintain conversion accuracy.
- Use this conversion when working between legacy CGS data and modern imperial measurement applications.
- Double-check results when applying them in international or SI unit standard contexts.
- Be aware that stilb is less common today and candela per square foot is a non-SI unit.
Limitations
- Stilb is a CGS unit and not widely used in contemporary photometric measurements.
- Candela per square foot is a non-SI unit and may require additional conversion for international standards.
- Conversion accuracy depends on the precise context and understanding of unit applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is stilb (sb) used for?
- Stilb is a CGS unit of luminance used historically in optical research and older literature to describe surface brightness.
- Why convert stilb to candela per square foot?
- Converting stilb to candela per square foot helps translate older CGS measurements into practical imperial units used in lighting, display, and projection calibrations.
- Is candela per square foot an SI unit?
- No, candela per square foot is a non-SI (imperial) unit commonly used where area is measured in square feet.
Key Terminology
- Stilb (sb)
- A CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square meter, representing brightness emitted or reflected from a surface.
- Candela per square foot
- A non-SI unit of luminance expressing luminous intensity per square foot area, used often in lighting and display measurements within imperial systems.
