Converting from Lambert (L) to Stilb (sb) | Luminance

What is Lambert (L)

Lambert (L) is a unit of luminance, which measures the intensity of light emitted from a surface. One Lambert is equal to one candela per square meter (cd/m²). Luminance is an essential parameter in lighting design and photography.

What is Stilb (sb)

Stilb (sb) is another unit of luminance commonly used to measure the light intensity of a surface. One Stilb is equivalent to 10,000 candelas per square meter (10,000 cd/m²). Stilb is often used to represent high luminance values.
