What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate luminance values from the stilb unit, used historically in CGS photometric measurements, into kilocandela per square meter, a modern SI-based unit widely applied in display technology and brightness specification.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in stilb (sb) into the input field.
- Select stilb as the input unit and kilocandela per square meter as the output unit.
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent luminance value in kilocandela per square meter.
- Review the result to compare historical CGS data with modern SI luminance measurements.
Key Features
- Converts luminance from stilb (sb) to kilocandela per square meter (kcd/m²).
- Supports interpretation and comparison of historical and modern luminance data.
- Includes conversion formula with a fixed rate of 1 stilb equals 10 kilocandela per square meter.
- Useful for applications in display engineering, automotive HUDs, and outdoor signage.
- Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
Examples
- 2 stilb equals 20 kilocandela per square meter.
- 0.5 stilb equals 5 kilocandela per square meter.
Common Use Cases
- Translating old photometric data in stilb into modern SI units for scientific research.
- Evaluating and comparing brightness levels in HDR displays and television screens.
- Setting luminance standards for automotive heads-up displays and instrument panels.
- Calibrating brightness for outdoor LED billboards and digital signage.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure you understand the difference between CGS and SI unit systems when converting.
- Use this tool to compare and interpret luminance values in legacy and modern contexts.
- Verify that the measurement conditions correspond to uniform surface luminance for accurate conversion.
- Apply the conversion carefully in cases where angular or spectral variations might affect luminance.
Limitations
- Stilb is based on CGS units and differs by a factor of 10 from kilocandelas per square meter.
- The conversion assumes uniform luminance across the surface measured.
- It may not capture variations due to viewing angles or spectral characteristics relevant in precise photometric scenarios.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is stilb used for?
