What Is This Tool?
This converter facilitates transforming luminance measurements from stilb (sb) to foot-lambert (fL). Stilb is a CGS unit representing luminous intensity per area, while foot-lambert is an imperial unit used commonly for display brightness and projection system evaluations.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in stilb (sb)
- Select stilb as the starting unit and foot-lambert (fL) as the target unit
- Click convert to get the equivalent value in foot-lambert
- Interpret the results for use in display calibration or optical research
Key Features
- Converts luminance units from stilb (CGS system) to foot-lambert (imperial system)
- Supports interpretation of historical photometric data in modern contexts
- Useful for cinema, home theater, and projection screen brightness calibration
- Facilitates comparison between legacy and contemporary luminance measurements
Examples
- 0.5 Stilb equals approximately 1459.3175 Foot-lambert
- 2 Stilb corresponds to about 5837.2702 Foot-lambert
Common Use Cases
- Converting historical CGS luminance data to imperial units for modern comparison
- Calibrating projected screen brightness in cinemas and home theaters
- Assessing reflected luminance in projection system design and testing
- Reviewing legacy scientific publications and optical instrumentation specifications
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure luminance values are accurately entered in stilb before conversion
- Use the conversion for interpreting older data rather than for real-time measurements
- Consider further conversions if consistent SI units are required
- Validate results when applying converted values in projection or display calibration
Limitations
- Stilb is rarely used in current measurements and mostly relevant for legacy data
- Foot-lambert is specific to imperial measurement systems, limiting SI compatibility
- Measurement conditions such as projected area and reflectance may affect conversion accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is stilb used for?
- Stilb is a photometric luminance unit from the CGS system, often used for historical data and optical research.
- Why convert stilb to foot-lambert?
- Converting helps compare and interpret luminance values from older CGS units to imperial units prevalent in display and projection industries.
- Is foot-lambert compatible with SI units?
- Foot-lambert is an imperial unit and may require additional conversion for consistency within SI measurement frameworks.
Key Terminology
- Stilb (sb)
- A CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square meter, used for describing luminous intensity from surfaces.
- Foot-lambert (fL)
- An imperial luminance unit representing luminous intensity per projected area, commonly used in cinema and projection screen brightness.
- Luminance
- A photometric measure of the luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a specific direction.
