Luminous flux
(redirected from Luminous power)

luminous flux

The energy field generated by light. See lumen.


Luminous flux

The time rate of flow of light. It is radiant flux in the form of electromagnetic waves which affects the eye or, more strictly, the time rate of flow of radiant energy evaluated according to its capacity to produce visual sensation. The visible spectrum is ordinarily considered to extend from 380 to 760 nanometers in wavelength; therefore, luminous flux is radiant flux in that region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The unit of measure of luminous flux is the lumen. See Photometry
