Glossary of the
most important lighting terms
As with any technical or scientific discipline, lighting
technology has its own special terms and concepts
for defining the characteristics of lamps and luminaires
and for standardizing the units of measurement.
The most important of these are described here.

Light and radiation

Light is taken to mean the electromagnetic radiation
that the human eye perceives as brightness, in other
words that part of the spectrum that can be seen.
This is the radiation between 360 and 830 nm, a tiny
fraction of the known spectrum of electromagnetic
radiation.

Luminous intensity I

Luminous flux F
Unit of measurement: lumen [lm].
Luminous flux F is all the radiated power emitted by
a light source evaluated with the spectral sensitivity of
the eye and the photometric radiation equivalent km.

Luminous intensity I
Unit of measurement: candela [cd].
Generally speaking, a light source emits its luminous
flux F in different directions and at different intensities.

is a measure of the
luminous flux W

emitted in solid
angle F.

Luminous intensity is the luminous flux radiated in a

particular direction (solid angle W).

Illuminance E
Unit of measurement: lux [lx].
Illuminance E is the ratio between the luminous flux
and the area being illuminated.

Illuminance E

An illuminance of 1 lx occurs when a luminous flux of

1 lm is evenly distributed over an area of 1 m.

Luminance L
Luminance L
Unit of measurement: candela per square meter
[cd/m].
The luminance L of a light source or an illuminated
area is a measure of the impression of brightness.

Color temperature
Unit of measurement: Kelvin [K].
The color temperature of a light source is defined in
comparison with a black body radiator and plotted on
what is known as the Planckian curve. The higher
the temperature of this black body radiator the
greater the blue component in the spectrum and the
smaller the red component. An incandescent lamp with
a warm white light, for example, has a color temperature of 2700 K, whereas a daylight fluorescent lamp has
a color temperature of 6000 K.
Light color
The light color of a lamp can be neatly defined in terms
of color temperature. There are three main categories
here:
Warm White < 3300 K
Cool White 33005000 K
Daylight > 5000 K.
Despite having the same light color, lamps may have
very different color rendering properties owing to the
spectral composition of their light.

ar Luminous intensity
ea

The color rendering index is a measure of the

correspondence between the color of an object (its
self-luminous color) and its appearance under a
reference light source. To determine the Ra values,
eight test colors defined in accordance with DIN 6169
are illuminated with the reference light source and the
light source under test. The smaller the discrepancy,
the better the color rendering property of the lamp
being tested.

A light source with an Ra value of 100 displays all

colors exactly as they appear under the reference light
source. The lower the Ra value, the worse the colors
are rendered.
Luminaire efficiency
Luminaire efficiency (also known as light output ratio) is
an important criterion in gauging the energy efficiency
of a luminaire. This is the ratio between the luminous
flux emitted by the luminaire and the luminous flux of
the lamp (or lamps) installed in the luminaire.
For detailed information on indoor lighting with artificial
light, see DIN 5035.

Color rendering
As a rule, artificial light should enable the human eye to
perceive colors correctly, as it would in natural daylight.
Obviously, this depends to some extent on the location
and purpose for which light is required.

Average lamp life

The average life of a lamp is an average of the lives of
individual lamps operated under standard conditions
(50% failure = average life).

Wavelength

The radiation is very evenly distributed over the entire
visible range.

Service life
Service life is a simple practical measure of the economical life of a lamp. It is the number of hours of
operation after which the system luminous flux (i.e. the
product of the relative luminous flux and the relative
proportion of lamps still in operation) is around 80% of
the initial value.
