Luminous efficacy — is a measure of how well a light source produces visible light. It is the ratio of luminous flux to power. Depending on context, the power can be either the radiant flux of the source s output, or it can be the total electric power consumed by… … Wikipedia
Coefficient of utilization — A coefficient of utilization (CU) is a measure of the efficiency of a luminaire in transferring luminous energy to the working plane in a particular area. The CU is the ratio of luminous flux from a luminaire incident upon a work plane to that… … Wikipedia
Luminous coefficient — The luminous coefficient is a coefficient that measures the integrated fraction of the radiant power that contributes to its luminous properties as evaluated by means of the standard luminosity function. [cite book|title=Van Nostrand s Scientific … Wikipedia
Retroreflector — Infobox Laboratory equipment name = Retroreflector caption = A gold corner cube retroreflector acronym = other names = uses = Distance measurement by optical delay line inventor = manufacturer = model = related = A retroreflector (sometimes… … Wikipedia
Candela — This article is about the unit of luminous intensity. For other uses, see Candela (disambiguation). Photopic (black) and scotopic[1] (green) luminosity functions. The photopic includes the CIE 1931 standard[2] … Wikipedia

Lux — For other uses, see Lux (disambiguation). A lux meter for measuring illuminances in work places. The lux (symbol: lx) is the SI unit of illuminance and luminous emittance measuring luminous power per area. It is used in photometry as a measure of … Wikipedia
Candela per square metre — Nit (unit) redirects here. For the unit of information entropy, see Nat (information). The candela per square metre (cd/m2) is the derived SI unit of luminance. The unit is based on the candela, the SI unit of luminous intensity, and the square… … Wikipedia
Lambert (unit) — The lambert (symbol L, la or Lb) is a non SI unit of luminance named for Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728–1777), a Swiss mathematician, physicist and astronomer. A related unit of luminance, the foot lambert, is used in the lighting, cinema and… … Wikipedia
Luminosity function — The luminosity function or luminous efficiency function describes the average sensitivity of the human eye to light of different wavelengths. It should not be considered perfectly accurate in every case, but it is a very good representation of… … Wikipedia
