About these units

The kilocandela (kcd) is a metric unit of luminous intensity, equal to 1,000 candelas.

The candela (cd) is an SI base or derived unit of luminous intensity.

Going the other way, 1 candela = 0.001 kilocandelas. Luminous intensity is how bright a light source looks in a particular direction, measured in candela, one of the seven SI base units. LED brightness is usually given in millicandela, and the older candlepower is treated as equal to one candela.
