I am trying to understand which LED is brighter and why
I have one and the datasheet shows an LED 585nm 3KR , 583nm, 10mcd, 120 DEGREES
The second LED datasheet shows LED SMD 1206 CL-YL 180m 60D 3K SURFACE MOUNT LED, 1206, CLEAR YELLOW 595nm, 180mcd, 60 DEGREES
My understanding is the higher the mcd value the brighter the LED is that correct. I am getting so much mixed information I am lost.
