Dolby has a PDF white paper that talks about that here. "Full-Spec" is a reference to the maximum light output in the current version of the HDR specification (specifically, Dolby Vision). Your TV at home, depending on its technology and age, maxes out at maybe 250-500 nits. We're starting to see some TVs pushing 1,500 nits, but that's still pretty rare and, in the case of the Samsung Q7, it gets dimmer after a few seconds. Or, more relevant to us here, the average modern TV maxes out around 500-1,000 nits, and a movie theater screen maybe 50. The noonday sun measures around 1,600,000,000 nits and the night sky around 0.001 nits. Not that "nit" sounds much better than "lambert" but at least we're all speaking metric. In the US we've historically used the foot-lambert, though thankfully that term seems to have disappeared from pretty much everywhere.
