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

Definition of Candela/square Inch

Candela per square inch (cd/in²) is a unit of luminous intensity distributed over a given area. It measures the concentration of light emitted from a source in a particular direction per square inch. This unit is crucial in industries where precise light distribution is necessary, such as in display technologies or specialized lighting systems. By understanding this measurement, professionals can ensure optimal light performance and energy efficiency. The consistency in luminous intensity provided by the candela per square inch unit aids in the design and evaluation of lighting products, ensuring they meet the desired specifications.

Definition of Lumen/sq. Meter/steradian

Lumen per square meter per steradian (lm/m²/sr) is a unit used to quantify the luminous flux emitted from a surface per unit area and solid angle. This measurement is critical in understanding how light is distributed in three-dimensional spaces. It helps professionals assess the efficiency and effectiveness of light sources, particularly in scenarios where directional light distribution is necessary, such as in theater lighting or architectural designs. By utilizing this unit, designers and engineers can accurately evaluate and improve lighting conditions, ensuring that spaces are illuminated effectively while optimizing energy consumption.
