   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy

   Luminous energy per unit time Luminous intensity: I v: candela (= lumen per steradian) cd (= lm/sr) J: Luminous flux per unit solid angle: Luminance: L v: candela per square metre: cd/m 2 (= lm/(sr⋅m 2)) L −2 ⋅J: Luminous flux per unit solid angle per unit projected source area. The candela per square metre is sometimes called the nit ...

3. Compact fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp

   The luminous efficacy of a typical CFL is 50–70 lumens per watt (lm/W) and that of a typical incandescent lamp is 10–17 lm/W. [38] Compared to a theoretical 100%-efficient lamp ( 680 lm/W ), CFL lamps have lighting efficiency ranges of 7–10%, [ 39 ] versus 1.5–2.5% [ 40 ] for incandescents.

4. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

   A similar lamp designed for 230 V would produce only around 12.8 lumens per watt, and one designed for 30 volts (train lighting) would produce as much as 19.8 lumens per watt. [76] Lower voltage lamps have a thicker filament, for the same power rating.

5. 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 ...

   60 lumens per watt for lamps > 40 watts, 50 lumens per watt for lamps > 15 watts and ≤ 40 watts, and; 40 lumens per watt for lamps < 15 watts; There are 14 states that have adopted the 2009 IECC, six have an effective date set for late 2010 early 2011. Within the next three years, approximately 33 states will have adopted and implemented IECC ...
