What are Bril and Candela/square Foot

Definition of Bril

A Bril is a unit of luminance that is not commonly used today but historically found application in the field of photometry. It measures the brightness of a surface as perceived by the human eye, accounting for both the intensity of light emitting from or passing through a surface and the area over which it is distributed. Despite its rarity in modern usage, the Bril can serve as a useful reference point for comparing older scientific data with contemporary units of luminance such as Candela per square meter.

Definition of Candela/square Foot

Candela per square foot is a unit of luminance that describes the amount of light emitted or reflected from a surface in a specific direction per unit area. This measurement is crucial in various fields such as photography, cinematography, and architecture where accurate lighting levels are essential. By understanding this unit, professionals can ensure optimal lighting conditions, enhancing visibility and mood within a space. With its foundation in the internationally recognized unit of Candela, it provides a standardized approach to assessing and comparing luminance levels across different environments.
