candela

SI unit of luminous intensity, which replaced the former units of candle and standard candle. It measures the brightness of a light itself rather than the amount of light falling on an object, which is called illuminance and measured in lux.

One candela is defined as the luminous intensity in a given direction of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 × 10−12 Hz and whose radiant energy in that direction is 1/683 watt per steradian.
