Candlepower is a unit of measurement that indicates the luminous intensity of a light source in a specific direction. It is defined as the amount of luminous power emitted by a light source in a given direction per unit solid angle, typically measured in candelas (cd). One candela is roughly equivalent to the luminous intensity of a standard candle, hence the name "candlepower.
