   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
luminous efficiency [′lü·mə·nəs i′fish·ən·sē]
Luminous efficiency

Visual efficacy of visible radiation, a function of the spectral distribution of the source radiation in accordance with the “spectral luminous efficiency curve,’’ usually for the light-adapted eye or photopic vision, or in some instances for the dark-adapted eye or scotopic vision.

The spectral luminous efficiency of radiant flux is the ratio of luminous efficacy for a given wavelength to the value of maximum luminous efficacy. It is a dimensionless ratio. See Luminous efficacy, Photometry

luminous efficiency
Same as luminous efficacy; also called the luminous coefficient.
