    Frosted incandescent light bulb [5] [6] [12] 10 6: Mcd/m 2: 600 kcd/m 2: Solar disk at horizon [5] 10 7: 7 Mcd/m 2: Filament of a clear incandescent lamp [13] 10 8: ...

  3. Nikon F3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_F3

    The earlier Nikons had developed such a sterling reputation for extreme ruggedness and durability that many Nikon F and F2 owners were initially reluctant to transition to the new F3 from the F2 series, particularly due to the new camera needing batteries to operate. The F3 was superseded by the F4 in 1988 and the F5 in 1996. Despite being ...

    For example, D50 has a CCT of 5003 K ("horizon" light), while D65 has a CCT of 6504 K (noon light). This is because the value of the constants in Planck's law have been slightly changed since the definition of these canonical illuminants, whose SPDs are based on the original values in Planck's law.

  5. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    The f-number N is given by: = where f is the focal length, and D is the diameter of the entrance pupil (effective aperture).It is customary to write f-numbers preceded by "f /", which forms a mathematical expression of the entrance pupil's diameter in terms of f and N. [1]

  6. Foot-candle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot-candle

    In the US lighting industry, foot-candles are a common unit of measurement used by architects to calculate adequate lighting levels. Foot-candles are also commonly used in the museum and gallery fields in the US, where lighting levels must be carefully controlled to conserve light-sensitive objects such as prints, photographs, and paintings, the colors of which fade when exposed to bright ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Scotopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotopic_vision

    Scotopic vision occurs at luminance levels of 10 −3 [7] to 10 −6 [citation needed] cd/m 2.Other species are not universally color blind in low-light conditions. The elephant hawk-moth (Deilephila elpenor) displays advanced color discrimination even in dim starlight.

    The introduction of the F.3 and F.6 allowed the RAF to progressively reequip squadrons operating aircraft such as the Gloster Javelin and retire these types during the mid-1960s.
