A dekawatt (daW) is a power unit equal to 10 watts, formed using the deka (10^1) prefix applied to the watt.

Why convert dekawatt to milliwatt?

The conversion helps express power values from a scale of tens of watts to much finer scales for low power electronics and optical components.

How many milliwatts are in one dekawatt?

One dekawatt equals 10,000 milliwatts.
