2. Color temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

   Since fixtures using discharge type lamps produce a light of a considerably higher color temperature than do tungsten lamps, using the two in conjunction could potentially produce a stark contrast, so sometimes fixtures with HID lamps, commonly producing light of 6000–7000 K, are fitted with 3200 K filters to emulate tungsten light. Fixtures ...

3. Magnitude (astronomy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(astronomy)

   An illustration of light sources from magnitude 1 to 3.5, in 0.5 increments In astronomy , magnitude is a measure of the brightness of an object , usually in a defined passband . An imprecise but systematic determination of the magnitude of objects was introduced in ancient times by Hipparchus .

5. Luminosity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity

   Luminosity is an absolute measure of radiated electromagnetic energy per unit time, and is synonymous with the radiant power emitted by a light-emitting object. [1] [2] In astronomy, luminosity is the total amount of electromagnetic energy emitted per unit of time by a star, galaxy, or other astronomical objects. [3] [4]

6. 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 ...

7. Luminance - Wikipedia

   A tea light-type candle, imaged with a luminance camera; false colors indicate luminance levels per the bar on the right (cd/m 2). Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. [1]
