  2. 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]

  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 ...

  8. Glossmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossmeter

    Gloss meter in action. A glossmeter (also gloss meter) is an instrument which is used to measure specular reflection gloss of a surface. Gloss is determined by projecting a beam of light at a fixed intensity and angle onto a surface and measuring the amount of reflected light at an equal but opposite angle.

  9. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometry_(optics)

    The definition tells us that 1 watt of pure green 555 nm light is "worth" 683 lumens. It does not say anything about other wavelengths. Because lumens are photometric units, their relationship to watts depends on the wavelength according to how visible the wavelength is. Infrared and ultraviolet radiation, for example, are invisible and do not ...
