  2. Luminous efficiency function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficiency_function

    The standard luminous efficiency function is normalized to a peak value of unity at 555 nm (see luminous coefficient). The value of the constant in front of the integral is usually rounded off to 683 lm/W. The small excess fractional value comes from the slight mismatch between the definition of the lumen and the peak of the luminosity function.

  3. Spectral power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_power_distribution

    Mathematically, for the spectral power distribution of a radiant exitance or irradiance one may write: =where M(λ) is the spectral irradiance (or exitance) of the light (SI units: W/m 2 = kg·m −1 ·s −3); Φ is the radiant flux of the source (SI unit: watt, W); A is the area over which the radiant flux is integrated (SI unit: square meter, m 2); and λ is the wavelength (SI unit: meter, m).

  4. Luminous efficacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy

    The luminous efficacy of the source is a measure of the efficiency of the device with the output adjusted to account for the spectral response curve (the luminosity function). When expressed in dimensionless form (for example, as a fraction of the maximum possible luminous efficacy), this value may be called luminous efficiency of a source ...

  7. Luminous flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_flux

    In photometry, luminous flux or luminous power [citation needed] is the measure of the perceived power of light. It differs from radiant flux , the measure of the total power of electromagnetic radiation (including infrared , ultraviolet , and visible light), in that luminous flux is adjusted to reflect the varying sensitivity of the human eye ...

  8. Luminous efficiency function - en.wikipedia.org

    en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/...

    The CIE photopic luminous efficiency function y (λ) or V(λ) is a standard function established by the Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE) and standardized in collaboration with the ISO, [1] and may be used to convert radiant energy into luminous (i.e., visible) energy.

  9. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    A LED is a long-lived light source, but certain mechanisms can cause slow loss of efficiency of the device or sudden failure. The wavelength of the light emitted is a function of the band gap of the semiconductor material used; materials such as gallium arsenide , and others , with various trace doping elements , are used to produce different ...
