What does one millinit represent?

One millinit is one-thousandth of a nit, measuring very low luminous intensity per area.

Why convert millinit to lumen per square foot per steradian?

Converting allows expressing low luminance values using U.S. customary units preferred in signage and architectural lighting.

Are there any accuracy concerns with this conversion?

Yes, the very small conversion factor means users should carefully handle numerical precision to avoid errors.
