What Is This Tool?
This converter facilitates the translation of luminance measurements from stilb (a CGS unit) to lumen per square meter per steradian, the SI unit equivalent to candela per square meter. It is designed for users working with historic photometric data or in fields where both unit systems are relevant.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in stilb [sb] units
- Select stilb as the input unit and lumen/sq. meter/steradian as the output unit
- Apply the conversion formula to get the equivalent value in lumen/sq. meter/steradian
- Use the converted value for further optical or lighting calculations
- Repeat as needed for different luminance measurements
Key Features
- Converts luminance from stilb [sb] to lumen/sq. meter/steradian (lm·m⁻²·sr⁻¹)
- Supports interpretation of historical photometric data using modern SI units
- Simple formula application for quick and accurate conversion
- Browser-based and easy to use without installation
- Suitable for use in optical research, lighting design, and display calibration
Examples
- 0.5 Stilb [sb] converts to 0.5 × 10000 = 5000 Lumen/sq. meter/steradian
- 2 Stilb [sb] converts to 2 × 10000 = 20000 Lumen/sq. meter/steradian
Common Use Cases
- Translating historical CGS luminance data to contemporary SI units for research
- Describing brightness levels of bright laboratory lights or reflective surfaces
- Converting legacy photometric values in optical engineering and lighting design
- Evaluating display brightness parameters in monitors, smartphones, and TVs
- Calibrating optical instruments and setting camera exposure in photometric studies
Tips & Best Practices
- Always ensure unit consistency when mixing stilb with other SI luminance values
- Use this conversion to interpret legacy data for modern lighting applications
- Verify input values carefully before converting to avoid calculation errors
- Understand the context of your measurement—historical or modern—to apply correct units
- Consult photometric standards if precision beyond basic conversion is required
Limitations
- Stilb is an older CGS unit replaced by SI units in practical modern measurements
- Conversion primarily serves legacy data interpretation and historical comparison
- Be cautious about unit consistency when combining stilb values with SI data
- Not intended for establishing new measurement standards or detailed scientific calculation
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does stilb [sb] measure?
- Stilb is a CGS photometric unit of luminance that quantifies luminous intensity per unit area emitted or reflected from a surface in a certain direction.
- Why convert stilb to lumen/sq. meter/steradian?
- Converting stilb to lumen/sq. meter/steradian allows interpretation of historic CGS luminance data using modern SI units that are widely applied in lighting, display technology, and optical engineering.
- Is stilb commonly used in current measurements?
- No, stilb is mostly found in legacy data, as contemporary photometric standards and measurements use lumen/sq. meter/steradian or candela per square meter (cd/m²).
Key Terminology
- Stilb [sb]
- A CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square meter, quantifying luminous intensity per unit area emitted or reflected.
- Lumen/sq. meter/steradian (lm·m⁻²·sr⁻¹)
- An SI unit measuring luminance as luminous intensity per projected area per solid angle, equivalent to candela per square meter.
- Luminance
- A photometric measure of the brightness of a surface emitting or reflecting light in a given direction.
