Luminous intensity is the perceived power per unit solid angle. 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 ...
The intensity of light near a window can range from 100 to 460 fc, depending on the orientation of the window, time of year and latitude. Indoor lighting for residences seeks to provide 5-40 fc for general spaces and 70-90 fc for work spaces.

Luminous intensity, a photometric quantity measured in lumens per steradian (lm/sr), or candela (cd) Irradiance, a radiometric quantity, measured in watts per square meter (W/m 2) Intensity (physics), the name for irradiance used in other branches of physics (W/m 2) Radiance, commonly called "intensity" in astronomy and astrophysics (W·sr −1 ...
Light shelves are an effective way to enhance the lighting from windows on the equator-facing side of a structure, this effect being obtained by placing a white or reflective metal light shelf outside the window. [19] Usually the window will be protected from direct summer season sun by a projecting eave.

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]
Light can reach a room via through a glazed window, rooflight, or other aperture via three paths: Direct light from a patch of sky visible at the point considered, known as the sky component (SC), Light reflected from an exterior surface and then reaching the point considered, known as the externally reflected component (ERC),
