Conversion Formula

nlm = mlm × 1000000

About Millilumens

The millilumen (mlm) equals 10⁻³ lm. The output range for typical LED indicator packages: a standard 5 mm through-hole LED at 20 mA produces 10-200 mlm depending on color and efficiency. Small wearable health-monitor LEDs and remote-control emitter LEDs operate in this range. 1 mlm = 10⁻³ 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.
