Candela

This article is about the unit of luminous intensity. For other uses, see Candela (disambiguation). Candela Photopic (black) and scotopic [1] (green) luminosity functions. The photopic includes the CIE 1931 standard [2] (solid), the Judd–Vos 1978 modified data [3] (dashed), and the Sharpe, Stockman, Jagla & Jägle 2005 data [4] (dotted). The horizontal axis is wavelength in nm.

Luminous intensity is analogous to radiant intensity, but instead of simply adding up the cont...

Lumen (unit)

For other uses, see Lumen (disambiguation). Lumen Unit system SI derived unit Unit of Luminous flux Symbol lm  Unit conversions 1 lm in ... ... is equal to ...     SI base units     1 lm = 1 cd ⋅ sr. The lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI derived unit of luminous flux, a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source. 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 various wavelengths. Lumens are related to lux in that one lux is one lumen per square meter. The lumen is defined in relation to the candela as 1 lm = 1 cd ⋅ sr. A full sphere has a solid angle of 4π steradians, [1] so a light source that uniformly radiates one candela in all directions has a total luminous flux of 1 cd × 4π sr = 4π cd⋅sr ≈ 12.57 lumens .
