Convert candela/square metre to lumen/sq. metre/steradian

Vice Versa: lumen/sq. metre/steradian to candela/square metre

Candela/Square Metre

The candela per square metre (cd/m²) is the SI unit of luminance, measuring the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. It is also known as the nit. It is used to characterise the brightness of display screens and other light sources.

Lumen/Sq. Metre/Steradian

The lumen per square metre per steradian (lm/m²·sr) is equivalent to the candela per square metre (cd/m²) and is the SI unit of luminance. It expresses the luminous flux emitted per unit solid angle per unit projected area of the source.
