Explore our Candela/square Meter to Foot-lambert Converter, a tool meticulously designed by Newtum, to effortlessly transform luminance measurements. This user-friendly converter intrigues you to delve deeper into the world of light measurement and understand the practical utility of converting cd/m² to fL.
Candela per square meter (cd/m²) is a unit of luminance used to quantify the amount of light emitted from a surface in a given direction. It represents the luminous intensity per unit area and is commonly used in the fields of lighting design, photography, and display technology. By measuring the brightness of screens, lighting fixtures, and other light sources, cd/m² helps professionals ensure optimal illumination levels. This unit is part of the International System of Units (SI) and provides a standard measure for comparing the luminance of different light-emitting surfaces.
Definition of Foot-lambertFoot-lambert (fL) is a non-SI unit of luminance commonly used in the United States, especially in the context of cinema projection and screen brightness. It represents the brightness of a surface that emits or reflects one lumen per square foot. The unit is named after the foot, a unit of length, and Johann Heinrich Lambert, an 18th-century Swiss mathematician and physicist. Foot-lambert helps professionals assess and ensure the adequate brightness levels of screens, projectors, and other visual displays, playing a crucial role in quality control and enhancing visual experiences.
| Candela/square Meter (cd/m²) | Foot-lambert (fL) |
|---|---|
| 1 cd/m² | 0.2919 fL |
| 10 cd/m² | 2.919 fL |
| 50 cd/m² | 14.595 fL |
| 100 cd/m² | 29.19 fL |
| 200 cd/m² | 58.38 fL |
| 300 cd/m² | 87.57 fL |
| 400 cd/m² | 116.76 fL |
| 500 cd/m² | 145.95 fL |
| 600 cd/m² | 175.14 fL |
| 700 cd/m² | 204.33 fL |
1 cd/m² = 0.2919 fL
1 fL = 3.426 cd/m²
Example 1:
convert 50 cd/m² to fL:
50 cd/m² = 50 × 0.2919 fL = 14.595 fL
Example 2:
convert 120 cd/m² to fL:
120 cd/m² = 120 × 0.2919 fL = 35.028 fL
The Candela per square meter to Foot-lambert Converter has roots in the need to standardize luminance measurements across different regions and industries. Initially, the foot-lambert became popular in the United States for cinema and display brightness, while the candela per square meter gained prominence in international lighting and display contexts. As global industries expanded, the necessity for a conversion tool grew, allowing professionals to seamlessly translate luminance values between these two units.
