Steradian
The steradian (symbol: sr) or square radian is an SI unit. It is like a radian, but for smooth 3D objects, for example, a sphere. A steradian is about one twelfth the surface area of a sphere, regardless of how big the sphere is.
So a sphere measures 4π steradians, or about 12.57 steradians. Likewise a steradian is 1/12.57, or about 8% of a sphere. And because we measure an angle, it doesn't matter what size the sphere is, it will always measure 4π steradians.
Lumen (unit)
The lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI derived unit for brightness. It is defined as 1 candela times 1 steradian.
One lumen is about a twelfth the brightness of a candle, so a candle has a brightness of around 12 lumens.
