What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms luminance measurements expressed in watt per square centimeter per steradian at 555 nm into foot-lambert, an imperial unit for luminance commonly used in theaters and display technologies.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in watt per square centimeter per steradian at 555 nm.
  • Select the input and output units accordingly.
  • Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent luminance in foot-lambert.

Key Features

  • Converts spectral radiance at 555 nm wavelength to foot-lambert units.
  • Supports luminance measurement translation for optical metrology and display calibration.
  • Browser-based and easy to use with quick conversion output.

Examples

  • 0.5 watt/sq. cm/steradian (at 555 nm) converts to 996,713.88 foot-lambert.
  • 2 watt/sq. cm/steradian (at 555 nm) converts to 3,986,855.52 foot-lambert.

Common Use Cases

  • Translating radiometric spectral radiance to photometric luminance for vision research.
  • Specifying or comparing LED and lamp outputs at the photopic peak wavelength.
  • Calibrating and measuring screen brightness in cinema and home theater environments.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure measurements are taken specifically at 555 nm to maintain conversion accuracy.
  • Use the tool to aid in equipment calibration and display comparison in imperial units.
  • Pay close attention to unit scales due to the large conversion factor.

Limitations

  • Conversion applies only to measurements at 555 nm wavelength reflecting peak human visual sensitivity.
  • Using the tool for other wavelengths may produce incorrect luminance results.
  • Large numerical conversion factors require careful handling to avoid errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the wavelength 555 nm important in this conversion?
