Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply:
3.1 Characteristics
3.1.1
luminance (in a given direction at a given point of surface)
L
luminous intensity of the light emitted in a given direction from an element of the surface, divided by the area
of the element projected in the same direction
NOTE 1

Adapted from EN 12665.

NOTE 2

Luminance is expressed in candela per square metre (cd/m2).

3.1.2
luminous flux

AS+ Shop 03.09.2011

quantity derived from radiant flux (radiant power) by evaluating the radiation according to the spectral
sensitivity of the human eye (as defined by the CIE standard photometric observer)
NOTE 1

It is the light power emitted by a source or received by a surface.

NOTE 2

Adapted from EN 12665.

NOTE 3

Luminous flux is expressed in lumen (lm).
