About Millilamberts
The millilambert (mL) equals 10/π cd/m² ≈ 3.183 cd/m². Historically used in the United States to specify projection screen luminance and oscilloscope phosphor brightness. A projection screen with luminance 1 mL ≈ 3.18 cd/m². Largely superseded by cd/m² and foot-lamberts in modern display standards. 1 mL = 10/π cd/m².
About Skots
The skot (sk) equals 10⁻³/π cd/m² ≈ 3.183×10⁻⁴ cd/m², defined as one-thousandth of an apostilb. A legacy photometric unit from early German-language vision science. The dark-adapted human eye threshold is around 3×10⁻⁴ cd/m², close to 1 sk. Now obsolete; replaced by cd/m² in SI photometry. 1 sk = 10⁻³/π cd/m².
