Less than novice question

[JimAShaw]

Please excuse me for this less than novice question and I could not figure out how to do a Search on this forum to find an answer.


As an example of what I would like to know...

The D18vn W2 is rated at 15,000L, 140Kcd, 748m

Now my question: What the heck does Kcd mean in the above scenario?? Does it deal with tint?

I told you this is a less than novice question.

Kcd = kilocandela

It is a measure of luminous intensity.

One (actual) candle ~ 1cd

140Kcd = 140,000 candela.

The higher the intensity, the further the beam will "throw"
