Luminance converter

Luminance or Brightness is the luminous intensity of a surface in a given direction per unit of projected area of the surface. (For conversions of units of illumination you may use the Illumination-Converter.)

Type the value of luminance you want to convert into the field, behind which you find the the unit. Click on the corresponding button and read the results in the other fields. Use the "delete" button to delete your calculation.

Example: You want to convert 200 Candela/cm² into "Lambert". Type "200" into the field in front of the button "cd/cm2". Click on the "cd/cm2" button. Find your result in the field in front of the "L" button (628.32 L).

- All results have been rounded to 5 significant digits.
- Large and small numbers are written exponentially. As example 2.3e5 = 2.3⋅10⁵ = 230000 or 4.5e-5 = 4.5⋅10^-5 = 0.000045.
- There is no warranty for the conversion. Cactus2000 is not responsible for damage of any kind caused by wrong results.
