   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

   Brightest sunlight Luminance. This section lists examples of luminances, ... Frosted incandescent light bulb [5] [6] [12] 10 6: Mcd/m 2: 600 kcd/m 2:

3. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

   Light with the same radiant intensity at other wavelengths has a lower luminous intensity. The curve which represents the response of the human eye to light is a defined standard function y (λ) or V (λ) established by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE, for Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage ) and standardized in ...

4. Color temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

   Rayleigh scattering of sunlight by Earth's atmosphere causes the blue color of the sky, which tends to scatter blue light more than red light. Some daylight in the early morning and late afternoon (the golden hours) has a lower ("warmer") color temperature due to increased scattering of shorter-wavelength sunlight by atmospheric particulates ...

5. Luminous flux - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_flux

   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 intensity of 1 candela. If the optics were changed to concentrate the beam into 1/2 ...

6. Standard illuminant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant

   Illuminants A, B, and C were introduced in 1931, with the intention of respectively representing average incandescent light, direct sunlight, and average daylight. Illuminants D (1967) represent variations of daylight, illuminant E is the equal-energy illuminant, while illuminants F (2004) represent fluorescent lamps of various composition.

7. Candlepower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlepower

   At the time the UK established candlepower as a unit, the French standard of light was based on the illumination from a Carcel burner, which defined the illumination that emanates from a lamp burning pure colza oil (obtained from the seed of the plant Brassica campestris) at a defined rate. Ten standard candles equaled about one Carcel burner.
