  2. Light intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_intensity

    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 ...

  3. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

    In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye. The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela (cd), an SI base unit.

  4. Lux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux

    The lux (symbol: lx) is the unit of illuminance, or luminous flux per unit area, in the International System of Units (SI). [1] [2] It is equal to one lumen per square metre.In photometry, this is used as a measure of the irradiance, as perceived by the spectrally unequally responding human eye, of light that hits or passes through a surface.

  5. Lumen (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumen_(unit)

    The lumen (symbol: lm) is the unit of luminous flux, a measure of the perceived power of visible light emitted by a source, in the International System of Units (SI). ). Luminous flux differs from power (radiant flux) in that radiant flux includes all electromagnetic waves emitted, while luminous flux is weighted according to a model (a "luminosity function") of the human eye's sensitivity to ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Candela - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candela

    The 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) redefined the candela in 2018. [10] [11] The new definition, which took effect on 20 May 2019, is: The candela [...] is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the luminous efficacy of monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 × 10 12 Hz, [a] K cd, to be 683 when expressed in the unit lm W −1, which is equal to cd sr W −1 ...

  8. Illuminance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminance

    In SI units illuminance is measured in lux (lx), or equivalently in lumens per square metre (lm·m −2). [2] Luminous exitance is measured in lm·m −2 only, not lux. [4] In the CGS system, the unit of illuminance is the phot, which is equal to 10 000 lux. The foot-candle is a non-metric unit of illuminance that is used in photography. [5]

  9. Luminous energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_energy

    Here is the wavelength of light, and ¯ is the luminous efficiency function, which represents the eye's sensitivity to different wavelengths of light. Luminous energy is the integrated luminous flux in a given period of time: Q v = ∫ 0 T Φ v ( t ) d t {\displaystyle Q_{\mathrm {v} }=\int _{0}^{T}{\mathit {\Phi _{\mathrm {v} }}}(t)\,\mathrm ...
