Convert Microcandelas to Millicandelas
Convert Microcandelas (µcd) to Millicandelas (mcd) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mcd = µcd × 0.001
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 Millicandelas
The millicandela (mcd) equals 10⁻³ cd. The most common unit in LED datasheets: a standard 3 mm through-hole LED has 5-500 mcd at 20 mA; a high-efficiency indicator LED 500-2 000 mcd; signal LEDs for visible-range indicators typically 10-200 mcd. The IEC standard range for low-current indicators. 1 mcd = 10⁻³ cd.
