The Candela to kilo-candela equation converts a measurement of luminous intensity in candela (cd) to units of kilo-candela (kcd).

1`k"cd" = 10^3 * "cd"`

Candela (cd) - the SI unit of luminous intensity.  "The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x 10¹² hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian."¹
