Kilocandela/Square Metre

The kilocandela per square metre (kcd/m²) is equal to 1,000 candelas per square metre (1,000 nits). It is used to describe very high luminance values such as those found in high-brightness outdoor displays and headlights. 


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.
