Candela/Square Metre

The candela per square metre (cd/m²) is the SI unit of luminance, measuring the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. It is also known as the nit. It is used to characterise the brightness of display screens and other light sources.

Skot

The skot (sk) is a unit of luminance equal to 10⁻³ apostilbs, or approximately 3.183×10⁻⁴ candelas per square metre. It was used in scotopic (night vision) photometry to measure very low luminance levels, such as moonlit or starlit environments.
