57. Lumens

58. Lumens
• The lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI derived unit of luminous flux, a measure of
the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source. Luminous flux differs
from power (radiant flux) in that radiant flux includes all electromagnetic
waves emitted, while luminous flux is weighted according to a model of the
human eye's sensitivity to various wavelengths. Lumens are related to lux
in that one lux is one lumen per square meter.
• The lumen is defined in relation to the candela as
• 1 lm = 1 cd⋅sr.

60. Footcandle

61. Footcandle
The name "footcandle" conveys "the illuminance cast on a surface by a
one-candela source one foot away".
sometimes foot candle; abbreviated fc, lm/ft2, or sometimes ft-c

62. ETC
• RADIANCE is another way of saying how much energy is released
from that light source.
• ILLUMINANCE is what results from the use of light. You turn your
flashlight on in a dark room, and you light something up. That's
ILLUMINANCE. Turning on a light in a dark room to make the burglar
visible gives you ILLUMINANCE.

63. ETC
• Candlepower is a way of measuring how much light is produced by a
light bulb, LED or by striking an arc in a Carbon-Arc spotlight.
• A candlepower as a unit of measure is not the same as a foot-candle.
A candlepower is a measurement of the light at the source, not at the
object you light up.
• And a candela is the metric equivalent of the light output of that one
candle, based on metric calculations.

64. • Summing it all up:
• Candlepower is a rating of light output at the source, using English
measurements.
• Foot-candles are a measurement of light at an illuminated object.
• Lumens are a metric equivalent to foot-candles in that they are
measured at an object you want to illuminate.
• Divide the number of lumens you have produced, or are capable of
producing, by 12.57 and you get the candlepower equivalent of that
light source.
• We've now converted a measurement taken some distance from the
illuminated object, converted it from a metric standard to an English
unit of measure, and further converted it from a measure
of illumination to a measure ofradiation!

72. Pantone
• The Pantone Color Matching System is largely a standardized color
reproduction system. By standardizing the colors, different
manufacturers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone
system to make sure colors match without direct contact with one
another.
