What are Apostilb and Candela/square Foot

Definition of Apostilb

Apostilb is a unit of luminance used to measure the brightness of a surface. It is defined as the luminous intensity emitted by one square meter of a perfectly diffusing surface that is positioned one meter away from a point light source of one candela. The apostilb is primarily utilized in fields such as lighting design and photometry to assess the distribution of light across surfaces and ensure optimal illumination in various environments. By quantifying luminance, apostilb aids in the precise calculation and comparison of light levels, contributing to effective lighting solutions.

Definition of Candela/square Foot

Candela per square foot is a unit of luminance that measures the intensity of light emitted from a surface. It is the amount of light produced by a light source that is spread across one square foot. This unit is commonly used in the United States to describe the brightness of displays, screens, and other surfaces. By quantifying how much light is emitted per unit area, candela per square foot helps in evaluating and designing lighting systems that provide adequate illumination while minimizing energy use. It plays a crucial role in ensuring visual comfort and efficiency in various lighting applications.
