What does one kilocandela per square meter represent?

It represents 1000 candelas per square meter, measuring the luminous intensity emitted or reflected by a surface.

When should I use millinit as a unit?

Millinit is suitable for describing very low luminance levels, such as night-mode displays or dimmed instrument panels.

Why do conversion results sometimes show very large numbers?

Because 1 kilocandela per square meter equals 1,000,000 millinit, converting high luminance values can produce large numbers.
