Explanation

A foot-lambert or footlambert (ftL, sometimes fl or ft-L) is a unit of luminance. For screens that are projected upon (like cinema, home cinema), it quantifies how much light is reflected (to the center of the room). This depends on the amount of light produced (lumens), the size of the screen and the screen gain.

Examples

Cinema: 32000 lumen on 23x10m screen
