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.
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.
