2. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

   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 intensity of 1 candela. If the optics were changed to concentrate the beam into 1/2 steradian then the source would have a luminous intensity of 2 candela.

3. Candlepower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlepower

   The term candlepower was originally defined in the United Kingdom, by the Metropolitan Gas Act 1860, as the light produced by a pure spermaceti candle that weighs 1 ⁄ 6 pound (76 grams) and burns at a rate of 120 grains per hour (7.8 grams per hour).

4. Lumen (unit) - Wikipedia

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

   Lamps used for lighting are commonly labelled with their light output in lumens; in many jurisdictions, this is required by law. A 23 W spiral compact fluorescent lamp emits about 1,400–1,600 lm. [5] [6] Many compact fluorescent lamps and other alternative light sources are labelled as being equivalent to an incandescent bulb with a specific ...

5. Candela - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candela

   The 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) redefined the candela in 2018. [10] [11] The new definition, which took effect on 20 May 2019, is: The candela [...] is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the luminous efficacy of monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 × 10 12 Hz, [a] K cd, to be 683 when expressed in the unit lm W −1, which is equal to cd sr W −1 ...
