Another objective measurement is irradiance, which indicates the amount of electromagnetic radiation per unit area; the SI unit for irradiance is watts per square meter. This sounds a lot like illuminance, which is lumens (i.e., the amount of light) per square meter. The crucial difference is...
In a lamp, electrical energy is converted into radiant energy and emitted. Only a portion of that radiation is visible light; the rest is heat (infrared). The total amount of visible light that a lamp emits in all directions is expressed in lumens. Only visible light counts, so the measur...
The Spectrometer is the base unit of a Spectroradiometer. Spectroradiometers include input optics and calibrations that allow the spectrometer to take calibrated readings of power, intensity, and irradiance/radiance in optical units or lux/nm, lumens/nm, watts/nm, W/cm2/sr/nm etc. Though to ...
dynamo lights are more often rated in lux. Whereas lumens are a measure of the total amount of visible light emitted from a source, lux is a measure of the intensity of light in the usable portion of its beam pattern. This means that...

headlamps. In numbers, that is currently around 90 lumens per watt, equivalent to a 75 W bulb or a car headlight with a 55 W halogen light. The high luminance generated on a very small chip surface means that the chip is subjected to a high local heat ...
