candela (kăndĕ`lə), in weights and measures: see candle candle, in weights and measures, unit of luminous intensity; it is defined as 1-60 of the intensity of a black body , or ideal radiator, at the temperature at which platinum solidifies (2,046°K;).

candela

A unit of measurement of the intensity of light. Part of the SI system of measurement, one candela (cd) is the monochromatic radiation of 540THz with a radiant intensity of 1/683 watt per steradian in the same direction. Another way of putting it is that an ordinary wax candle generates approximately one candela. See SI, lumen and nit.

candela

the basic SI unit of luminous intensity; the luminous intensity in a given direction of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 × 10¹² hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of (1/683) watt per steradian.

(optics)

A unit of luminous intensity, defined as ¹⁄₆₀ of the luminous intensity per square centimeter of a blackbody radiator operating at the temperature of freezing platinum. Formerly known as candle. Also known as new candle.
