Rich,
Don't know if what you were thinking to remember was this, but it's how
cd/ft^2 relate to "Brightness Value" (BV) or the subject luminance
portion
of EV (the other half is the film Speed Value [SV]):
   EV = BV + SV

BV = log(luminance in fL)/log(2)
   fL = foot-Lamberts
   to convert from Cd/ft^2 to fL, multiply the Cd/ft^2 by pi

This may be the missing piece of the math you were trying to recall.
