About Megacandelas
The megacandela (Mcd) equals 10⁶ cd. The range for powerful searchlights and lighthouse optics: a large maritime lighthouse lens emits 1-10 Mcd; military anti-aircraft searchlights of WWII reached 1-2 Mcd; modern LED lighthouse arrays 2-5 Mcd. 1 Mcd = 10⁶ cd.
About Nanocandelas
The nanocandela (ncd) equals 10⁻⁹ cd. The scale of extremely faint bioluminescence: a single luciferin-luciferase reaction emits around 1-10 ncd; dark-adapted firefly flashes peak at a few hundred ncd. Also the range for cooled avalanche-photodiode sensitivity characterisation. 1 ncd = 10⁻⁹ cd.
