WHAT DOES LUMINOUS EFFICACY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Luminous efficacy

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 power consumed by the source. Which sense of the term is intended must usually be inferred from the context, and is sometimes unclear. The former sense is sometimes called luminous efficacy of radiation, and the latter luminous efficacy of a source. The luminous efficacy of a source is a measure of the efficiency with which the source provides visible light from electricity. The luminous efficacy of radiation describes how well a given quantity of electromagnetic radiation from a source produces visible light: the ratio of luminous flux to radiant flux. Not all wavelengths of light are equally visible, or equally effective at stimulating human vision, due to the spectral sensitivity of the human eye; radiation in the infrared and ultraviolet parts of the spectrum is useless for illumination.

Definition of luminous efficacy in the English dictionary

The definition of luminous efficacy in the dictionary is the quotient of the luminous flux of a radiation and its corresponding radiant flux K. Other definition of luminous efficacy is the quotient of the luminous flux emitted by a source of radiation and the power it consumes. It is measured in lumens per watt ηv, Φv.
