About These Units
Apostilb (asb)
The apostilb (asb) equals 1/π cd/m² ≈ 0.318 nits. Represents the luminance of a perfect diffuser illuminated by 1 lux. Also called blondel. One apostilb ≈ 0.0929 foot-lamberts. Useful in theoretical calculations involving diffuse reflection.
Candela per Square Centimeter (cd/cm²)
A candela per square centimeter (cd/cm²) equals 10,000 nits and is identical to the stilb. Used for very bright light sources: LED dies, laser diodes, arc lamps. Typical white LED: 10-100 cd/cm². Extremely bright by display standards.
