Formula and example
How it is calculated
Converted value = original value × source factor / target factor
Worked example
500 cd/m² (nit) = 0.05 cd/cm² (stilb).
Things to check
- Luminance is expressed in units such as cd/m², also known as nit. Changing the unit leaves the observed surface unchanged.
- Rounding is applied only to displayed results. Very small or very large values may appear in scientific notation.
