Unit of luminance equal to 1/p candela per square foot. (fl).

The luminous intensity of a source of light expressed in candelas.

A unit of measurement of luminous intensity based on a physical standard, a set of calibrated carbon filament lamps. The old candle unit was superseded by the new candle or candela.

A gas lamp used in the early 1900s as a physical standard for measurement of luminous intensity. The Hefner unit was superseded by the candle and then by the candela.
