2. Luminous efficacy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy

   Luminous efficacy can be normalized by the maximum possible luminous efficacy to a dimensionless quantity called luminous efficiency.The distinction between efficacy and efficiency is not always carefully maintained in published sources, so it is not uncommon to see "efficiencies" expressed in lumens per watt, or "efficacies" expressed as a percentage.

3. Lumen (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumen_(unit)

   The lumen (symbol: lm) is the unit of luminous flux, a measure of the perceived power of visible light emitted by a source, in the International System of Units (SI). ). Luminous flux differs from power (radiant flux) in that radiant flux includes all electromagnetic waves emitted, while luminous flux is weighted according to a model (a "luminosity function") of the human eye's sensitivity to ...

4. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometry_(optics)

   The relation between watts and lumens is not just a simple scaling factor. We know this already, because the 60 watt incandescent bulb and the 15 watt compact fluorescent can both provide 900 lumens. The definition tells us that 1 watt of pure green 555 nm light is "worth" 683 lumens. It does not say anything about other wavelengths.

5. Luminous flux - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_flux

   Luminous flux (in lumens) is a measure of the total amount of light a lamp puts out. The luminous intensity (in candelas) is a measure of how bright the beam in a particular direction is. If a lamp has a 1 lumen bulb and the optics of the lamp are set up to focus the light evenly into a 1 steradian beam, then the beam would have a luminous ...

6. Luminous efficiency function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficiency_function

   Φ v is the luminous flux, in lumens; Φ e,λ is the spectral radiant flux, in watts per nanometre; y (λ), also known as V(λ), is the luminosity function, dimensionless; λ is the wavelength, in nanometres. Formally, the integral is the inner product of the luminosity function with the spectral power distribution. [2]

7. Luminous energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_energy

   lux (= lumen per square metre) lx (= lm/m 2) L −2 ⋅J: Luminous flux incident on a surface Luminous exitance, luminous emittance M v: lumen per square metre lm/m 2: L −2 ⋅J: Luminous flux emitted from a surface Luminous exposure: H v: lux second: lx⋅s L −2 ⋅T⋅J: Time-integrated illuminance Luminous energy density ω v: lumen ...

8. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

   I e is the radiant intensity in watts per steradian (W/sr), y ¯ ( λ ) {\textstyle {\overline {y}}(\lambda )} is the standard luminosity function . If more than one wavelength is present (as is usually the case), one must sum or integrate over the spectrum of wavelengths present to get the luminous intensity:

9. Light intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_intensity

   Radiant intensity, a radiometric quantity measured in watts per steradian (W/sr) Luminous intensity, a photometric quantity measured in lumens per steradian (lm/sr), or candela (cd) Irradiance, a radiometric quantity, measured in watts per square meter (W/m 2) Intensity (physics), the name for irradiance used in other branches of physics (W/m 2)
