Usage: technical; plural form; used in photometry and lighting science

Examples

• The camera sensor can detect light levels as low as 10 milliluces.
• Night vision equipment operates effectively in environments with milliluces of illumination.
• The laboratory measured the ambient light in milliluces to ensure precise experimental conditions.
• Astronomers use milliluces to quantify the faint light from distant stars.
• The security system's infrared sensors work in conditions below 1 millilux, or 1000 milliluces.
