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.
nit
