Luminance Unit Converter

This tool converts luminance (surface brightness) between common photometric units used in lighting design and display engineering.

Enter a value in any unit (for example cd/m², also known as nits) and the converter will calculate the equivalents in units such as foot-lambert (fL) and lambert (L).

Tip: Use consistent decimal formatting (e.g., 12.5) and check significant digits for reporting.
