Candela Per Square Meter (cd/m²) is a unit in the category of Luminous luminance. It is also known as candela/square meter, candela/square metre, candela per square metre, candelas per square meter, candelas per square metre. This unit is commonly used in the SI unit system. Candela Per Square Meter (cd/m²) has a dimension of L^-2J where L is length, and J is luminous intensity. This unit is the standard SI unit in this category.

Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).

Other units in the category of Luminous luminance include Apostilb (asb), Candle Per Square Centimeter (candle/cm²), Candle Per Square Foot (candle/ft²), Candle Per Square Inch (candle/in²), Candle Per Square Meter (candle/m²), Foot-Lambert (ft-L), Lambert (L), Nit (nit), and Stilb (sb).
