lambert
Definition: The lambert (symbol: L) is a luminance unit equal to 1/π candela per square centimeter (≈3183 cd/m²). Measures surface brightness.
History: Named after Johann Lambert. Used in early photometry before SI standardization.
Current use: Rarely used today, having been largely replaced by cd/m², but appears in some older technical literature.
cd/m²
Definition: The candela per square meter (symbol: cd/m²) is the SI unit of luminance, measuring luminous intensity per unit area in a given direction.
History: Adopted as part of the SI system in 1948. Based on the candela (luminous intensity) and meter (distance) definitions.
Current use: Standard unit for display brightness (100-300 cd/m² for monitors), signage, and lighting design calculations.
