Luminance Converter

Comprehensive Luminance Converter

Luminance is a measure of the brightness of a surface, defined as the luminous intensity per unit area. Our Luminance Converter allows you to easily convert between various units—from the SI standard (candela per square meter) to commonly used units like candela per square centimeter, candela per square foot, and even kilocandela per square meter, stilb, and others. This tool is essential for lighting designers, engineers, and researchers in the fields of optics and display technology.

Wie funktioniert es?

Unser Konverter verwendet ein zweistufiges Verfahren:

1. In die Basiseinheit umrechnen:
   The input value is converted to candela per square meter using the conversion factor of the selected “From” unit.

2. In die Zieleinheit umrechnen:
   The value in cd/m² is then converted to your desired “To” unit using its corresponding conversion factor.

This ensures precise and consistent luminance conversions for all your applications.
