5. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions): Q: What is luminance? A: Luminance is the measure of the intensity of light emitted or reflected from a surface, typically expressed in units such as candela per square meter (cd/m²), foot-lamberts (fL), or nits (nt).
Q: How accurate are the conversions provided by this tool? A: The conversions are based on predefined conversion factors and are therefore highly accurate.
Q: Can this tool convert luminance values to units not listed in the dropdown menu? A: No, this tool only supports conversions between the units listed in the dropdown menu.
