What are Candela/square Foot and Lumen/sq. Cm/steradian

Definition of Candela/square Foot

Candela per square foot (cd/ft²) is a unit that quantifies luminance, representing the luminous intensity emitted by a source per unit area in a specific direction. It measures the concentration of light, allowing for the assessment of brightness, especially in spaces like offices or studios. This unit is part of the imperial system and is essential for understanding how light is distributed across a surface. By comparing light intensity, professionals can ensure optimal illumination, enhancing visibility and comfort in various environments.

Definition of Lumen/sq. Cm/steradian

Lumen per square centimeter per steradian (lm/cm²/sr) is a unit that describes the luminous flux density emitted in a particular direction. This unit combines lumens, representing the total light output, with steradians, defining the angle or direction of emission. It provides a detailed understanding of how light is distributed over a given area, crucial for applications requiring precise light control. This metric is vital for calculating how effectively light sources illuminate specific areas, aiding in design, research, and various technological applications.
