What are Blondel and Lumen/square Foot/steradian

A Blondel is a unit of luminance. It measures the luminous intensity per unit area of light traveling in a given direction. Named after the French physicist André Blondel, this unit is not commonly used today but serves as an important part of the history of photometry. It provides a way to quantify the brightness of light sources and their effect on different surfaces. Blondel is crucial in fields where precise measurement of light is necessary, such as in lighting design and photography.

Lumen/square Foot/steradian (lm/ft²/sr) is a unit of luminance in the field of photometry. It represents the luminous flux emitted from a surface per unit area in a specific direction. This unit combines the concepts of luminous intensity (measured in lumens) with area and solid angle. It helps in quantifying the brightness of surfaces or lights in a given direction. Understanding this unit is essential for applications requiring precise lighting measurements, such as in architectural lighting and visual ergonomics.

History of Blondel and Lumen/square Foot/steradian

The Blondel to Lumen/square Foot/steradian Converter has evolved with advances in lighting technology. As lighting standards became more complex, the need to convert between various photometric units arose. This converter facilitates the transition from the historical Blondel, once used for luminance measurements, to the more widely accepted lm/ft²/sr. Its development reflects the growing demand for precise light measurement tools in fields such as architecture, photography, and engineering.
