About Kilocandelas
The kilocandela (kcd) equals 1 000 cd. The range for high-intensity light sources: a 150 W PAR38 halogen floodlamp has a peak intensity ~1-2 kcd; automotive low-beam headlights ~2-3 kcd in the main beam axis; LED searchlights 5-50 kcd; xenon aircraft landing lights ~100 kcd. 1 kcd = 10³ cd.
About Microcandelas
The microcandela (µcd) equals 10⁻⁶ cd. LED indicators in standby or low-power mode: many SMD status LEDs operate at 1-100 µcd when current-limited to 10-100 µA. Also the typical sensitivity threshold of modern photomultiplier tube assemblies. 1 µcd = 10⁻⁶ cd.
