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 Picocandelas
The picocandela (pcd) equals 10⁻¹² cd. A theoretical subunit used only in precision photometric standard traceability and single-photon detector characterisation. The faintest LED indicator in standby mode (~10 µcd) is one million times brighter. Appears in calibration chain documentation. 1 pcd = 10⁻¹² cd.
