Vice Versa: candela/square metre to lambert

Lambert

The lambert (L) is a non-SI unit of luminance named after Johann Heinrich Lambert. One lambert equals 1/π candela per square centimetre, or approximately 3,183.1 candelas per square metre. It was widely used in older photometric measurements before the adoption of SI units.

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.
