  2. Luminous efficacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy

    Luminous efficacy is a measure of how well a light source produces visible light. It is the ratio of luminous flux to power, measured in lumens per watt in the International System of Units (SI). Depending on context, the power can be either the radiant flux of the source's output, or it can be the total power (electric power, chemical energy ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Lux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux

    The lux (symbol: lx) is the unit of illuminance, or luminous flux per unit area, in the International System of Units (SI). [1][2] It is equal to one lumen per square metre. In photometry, this is used as a measure of the intensity, as perceived by the human eye, of light that hits or passes through a surface. It is analogous to the radiometric ...

  5. Compact fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp

    A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent light bulb; some types fit into light fixtures designed for incandescent bulbs. The lamps use a tube that is curved or folded to fit into the space of an ...

  6. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

    Luminous intensity. In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength -weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye. The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela (cd), an SI base unit.

  7. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Photometry is a branch of optics that deals with the measurement of light in terms of its perceived brightness to the human eye. [1] It is concerned with quantifying the amount of light that is emitted, transmitted, or received by an object or a system. In modern photometry, the radiant power at each wavelength is weighted by a luminosity ...

  8. Sunlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunlight

    Multiplying the figure of 1,050 watts per square meter by 93 lumens per watt indicates that bright sunlight provides an illuminance of approximately 98,000 lux (lumens per square meter) on a perpendicular surface at sea level. The illumination of a horizontal surface will be considerably less than this if the Sun is not very high in the sky.

  9. 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 ...
