What Is This Tool?
This converter enables you to transform luminance measurements from stilb (sb), a CGS photometric unit, into lumen per square foot per steradian, a non-SI unit widely used in US customary systems. It helps interpret historical or research data into practical units for modern applications.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in stilb (sb) units into the input field.
- Select the output unit as lumen per square foot per steradian.
- Click the convert button to see the equivalent luminance in the desired unit.
- Use the conversion result for assessments, design, or calibration purposes.
Key Features
- Converts luminance values between stilb and lumen/square foot/steradian units.
- Facilitates translating legacy CGS photometric data into US customary unit formats.
- Supports applications in optical research, lighting design, and signage brightness evaluation.
- Provides clear, browser-based unit conversion with straightforward input and output.
- Ideal for calibration and reporting from photometric measurement instruments.
Examples
- 2 Stilb [sb] converts to 1858.0608 Lumen/square foot/steradian.
- 0.5 Stilb [sb] converts to 464.5152 Lumen/square foot/steradian.
Common Use Cases
- Translating historical CGS luminance data into modern US customary units.
- Specifying brightness levels for signs, billboards, and outdoor displays.
- Performing architectural and lighting design focusing on glare control and visual comfort.
- Calibrating and reporting from luminance measurement devices using customary units.
Tips & Best Practices
- Verify whether your luminance data originates from CGS or customary unit systems before conversion.
- Use the converter to bridge values in optical research or legacy publications with modern project needs.
- Apply conversion results carefully in large-scale calculations due to the high magnitude factor.
- Consider unit system consistency when integrating converted values with SI-based measurements.
- Confirm unit labels clearly to avoid confusion when using converted luminance values.
Limitations
- Precision may be affected by incompatibilities between CGS and non-SI unit systems.
- Unit system inconsistencies can introduce errors when mixing with strictly SI-based data.
- Large numerical conversion factors mean small input errors can lead to significant output differences.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is stilb (sb) used for?
- Stilb is a CGS photometric unit of luminance used to describe luminous intensity per unit area in optical research and historical photometric data.
- Why convert stilb to lumen per square foot per steradian?
- Converting stilb to lumen/square foot/steradian allows relating historical CGS data to commonly used US customary units found in signage brightness and lighting design.
- Can I use this converter for modern SI units?
- This tool specifically converts stilb to a non-SI customary unit; for SI units like candela per square meter, other converters are recommended.
Key Terminology
- Stilb (sb)
- A CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square meter, measuring luminous intensity per unit area in a given direction.
- Lumen per square foot per steradian
- A non-SI unit measuring luminance as luminous flux per area per solid angle, used in US customary units and equivalent to candela per square foot.
- Luminance
- The amount of visible light emitted, reflected, or transmitted from a surface in a specific direction, typically measured in units such as stilb or candela per square meter.
