The difference between luminous efficiency and luminous flux

The difference between luminous efficiency and luminous flux


Luminous effect and luminous flux are two different physical concepts. However, there is often confusion.

Light efficiency: It is a physical quantity that characterizes an electric light source and converts electrical energy into light energy.

Luminous flux: The characterization is an electric light source, which produces the total amount of light energy emitted according to the established luminous efficiency and electric power.

In actual lighting application design, when comparing the performance of electric light source technology, the concept with realistic and intuitive physical meaning should be: light effect.
