Luminance Unit Converter guide

What it is for

Convert luminance unit converter to compare a measurement of compatible unit across two systems.

How it is calculated

For conversion from cd_m2 to nit, the configured relationship is x × 1 / 1. Both unit factors are referenced to cd_m2 before conversion to the target unit.

Assumptions

Use only the configured units: cd_m2, nit, footlambert. The input must be finite; precision is limited by the configured factors and displayed rounding.

Example

Worked example: enter 1, select cd_m2 as the source and nit as the target. The result is 1 nit; retain extra digits before rounding.

Limitations

Check units and rounding before using the result in a drawing, contract, recipe, or critical measurement.
