What does candela per square foot measure?

Candela per square foot measures the luminous intensity emitted or reflected by a surface per unit area of one square foot, representing the apparent brightness.

What is a millinit [mnt]?

A millinit is a luminance unit equal to one-thousandth of a nit, used to describe very low luminance levels on surfaces.

Why convert from candela/square foot to millinit?

Converting allows translation of imperial unit luminance values into smaller metric units suitable for precise measurements in modern display and lighting technology.
