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.
nit
Definition: The nit (symbol: nt) is a non-SI name for candela per square meter (1 nt = 1 cd/m²). Measures display brightness and surface luminance.
History: Derived from Latin 'nitere' (to shine). Used informally in display technology before being standardized.
Current use: Common in consumer electronics (TV specs: 500-1000 nits for HDR), though cd/m² remains the official SI unit.
