What does lumen/sq. cm/steradian measure?

It measures luminance as luminous flux per unit area per unit solid angle, equivalent to candela per square centimetre.

Why convert to millinit units?

Millinit enables expressing luminance at very low levels, useful for describing dim states and low-brightness displays.

Is millinit suitable for high luminance values?

Millinit is designed for low luminance; converting very high values results in very large numbers that may be impractical.
