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

Definition of Candela/square Inch

Candela per square inch (cd/in²) is a unit of luminance used in the field of photometry. It measures the luminous intensity emitted from a surface per unit area in a specific direction. Essentially, it quantifies how much light is emitted from a surface in terms of candelas over each square inch. This is an important measure in lighting design and analysis, helping professionals assess the brightness of displays, screens, or any surface that emits light. Understanding cd/in² is crucial for ensuring that lighting is both effective and efficient, meeting the necessary visual requirements.

Definition of Lumen/sq. Cm/steradian

Lumen per square centimeter per steradian (lm/cm²/sr) is a derived unit of luminous intensity. It represents the amount of light passing through or emitted from a surface area of one square centimeter, within a solid angle of one steradian. This unit is crucial for applications requiring detailed analysis of light distribution and intensity, such as in optical engineering, lighting design, and photometry. By using lm/cm²/sr, professionals can accurately measure and evaluate the directional light output of sources, ensuring optimal lighting conditions and energy efficiency in various environments.
