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.
stilb
Definition: The stilb (symbol: sb) is a luminance unit equal to 1 candela per square centimeter (10,000 cd/m²). Measures high-intensity light sources.
History: From Greek 'stilbein' (to glitter). Used in early 20th century photometry before SI standardization.
Current use: Mostly obsolete, but occasionally appears in specialized lighting engineering contexts.
