About Megalumens

The megalumen (Mlm) equals 10⁶ lm. The output range for high-bay industrial luminaires and stadium floodlights: a 1 000 W high-pressure sodium lamp array produces approximately 1.1 Mlm; full LED stadium lighting systems reach 1-10 Mlm; maritime lighthouse optics emit in the low-megalumen range. 1 Mlm = 10⁶ lm.

About Nanolumens

The nanolumen (nlm) equals 10⁻⁹ lm. The scale of single-cell bioluminescence: an individual bioluminescent bacterium emits roughly 1-100 nlm; a luciferin-luciferase reaction in a single cell reaches the low-nanolumen range. Also the range for fiber-optic evanescent-wave sensors and fluorescence microscopy background levels. 1 nlm = 10⁻⁹ lm.
