What is a candela per square meter?

It is the SI unit of luminance measuring how bright a surface appears to an observer in a specific direction.

Why use millinit units?

Millinit is used for describing very low luminance levels, such as night-mode displays or dimmed lighting.

How do I convert candela/square meter to millinit?

Multiply the value in candela per square meter by 1000 to get the equivalent in millinit.
