Key Terminology

Kilocandela per square meter
A luminance unit equal to 1000 candelas distributed over one square meter, measuring brightness emitted or reflected from a surface.
Candela per square inch
A luminance unit measuring luminous intensity over one square inch of surface area to quantify perceived brightness.
Luminance
The measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
