About Meganits
The meganit (Mcd/m²) equals 10⁶ cd/m². The scale for extreme light sources: outdoor LED video walls at peak brightness reach 3-10 Mcd/m²; laser exit apertures are typically 10-10 000 Mcd/m²; the solar disc at zenith has luminance ≈1 600 Mcd/m² (1.6×10⁹ cd/m²). Used in laser safety and high-power illumination. 1 Mcd/m² = 10⁶ cd/m².
About Candelas per square metre
The candela per square metre (cd/m²), informally called the nit, is the SI coherent unit of luminance. A typical laptop screen is 250-500 cd/m²; an HDR TV reaches 1 000-4 000 cd/m²; a clear blue sky is ~3 000-8 000 cd/m². Luminance is the photometric quantity directly perceived as brightness. 1 cd/m² = 1 nit.
