What Does CD Stand For?
CD stands for Candella Luminous Intensity
Candella Luminous Intensity (CD) is a measure of the brightness of light emitted by a source in a particular direction, defined as one candela per steradian. It quantifies the perceived power of light as perceived by the human eye, making it a crucial parameter in fields such as lighting design, visual ergonomics, and astronomy. The CD unit allows for standardized comparisons of luminous intensity across different light sources and applications.
