About these units

The millicandela (mcd) is a metric unit of luminous intensity, equal to 0.001 candelas.

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

Going the other way, 1 kilocandela = 1,000,000 millicandelas. 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.
