What Is This Tool?

This tool helps convert luminance values measured in watt per square centimeter per steradian at 555 nm into lumen per square centimeter per steradian. It facilitates translating radiometric data at the photopic peak wavelength into photometric units aligned with human visual sensitivity.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in watt per square centimeter per steradian at 555 nm
  • Select the input unit and the target unit lumen per square centimeter per steradian
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent luminance value
  • Use the result for calibration, testing, or design purposes

Key Features

  • Conversion based on the photopic peak wavelength of 555 nm
  • Supports radiometric to photometric luminance translation
  • Easy-to-use interface for accurate unit conversion
  • Ideal for small-area light source brightness comparison
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installation

Examples

  • 0.5 Watt/sq. cm/steradian (at 555 nm) equals 341.5 Lumen/sq. cm/steradian
  • 2 Watt/sq. cm/steradian (at 555 nm) equals 1366 Lumen/sq. cm/steradian

Common Use Cases

  • Characterizing spectral radiance of small light sources or displays at 555 nm
  • Converting radiometric luminance to photometric luminance reflecting human vision
  • Testing and calibrating LEDs, lamps, and optical systems at the photopic peak
  • Brightness analysis of micro-LED and OLED pixels
  • Calibration of luminance meters for small or high-intensity samples

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the source wavelength is exactly 555 nm for accurate conversion
  • Use this tool primarily for small-area luminance measurements
  • Consider human eye sensitivity variations when interpreting results
  • Apply results in vision research, optical metrology, and display design
  • Verify calibration settings when using converted luminance values

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes wavelength is strictly 555 nm, limiting use for other wavelengths
  • Applicable mainly to small-area sources due to unit definitions
  • Sensitivity differences among observers can affect photometric interpretation
  • Lighting environment variations may alter practical luminance perception

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 555 nm used for this luminance conversion?
Because 555 nm corresponds to the photopic peak wavelength where the human eye is most sensitive, making it ideal for converting radiometric values to photometric luminance.

Can this conversion be used for larger area light sources?
This conversion is primarily suitable for small-area sources given the nature of the radiance and luminance units involved.

What does 1 Watt/sq. cm/steradian (at 555 nm) equal in lumen units?
It equals 683 Lumen per square centimeter per steradian.

Key Terminology
