Lighting technology (7S880)Light and radiation
Energy of a photon: qph = h*v = h*(c0/λ)λ))
h = Planck’s constant = 6.626176*10-34ws
v = frequency
Monochromatic light: light emitted at only 1 wavelength, perceived as a chromatic colour.
Radiometric quantities: quantity that describes the radiation as a whole.
Photometric quantities: measure the radiation weighted by the human eye.

Radiometric quantity x: Xλ e=∫ Xλ eλ dλλ

Index e indicates that it is a radiometric (energetic) quantity.

λ) wavelength
The maximum sensitivity occurs at a wavelength of 555nm. Can be determined by
comparing radiances of monochromatic light of various wavelengths to radiance at 555nm.

Eye sensitivity function (v(λ))) for photopic vision = V ( λ ) =
Le ( λ )equal brightness
For scotopic vision the peak lies at 507nm.
Photopic curve is applicable for luminances
above 3.4cd/λ)m2. Scotopic curve v’ is valid for
luminance’s below 0.034cd/λ)m2. Between these
two values, a mix of the other two spectral
response curves occurs (= mesopic vision).
Spectral power distribution to photometric quantities: Xλ =K m ∙∫ Xλ eλ ∙ V ( λ ) dλλ.
,Km = 683lm/λ)w, it is the maximum luminous efficacy of radiation for photopic vision. For
scotopic vision use k’m = 1699lm/λ)w.
Luminous flux: φ with unit lumen (lm). It is the photometric quantity that relates to power
and the equivalent to the radiant power described by radiant flux. The luminous flux is used
to describe the light generated by lamps. Φ=K m ∙ Φ eλ ∙ V ( λ ) dλ λ.
∫
The spectral power density φeλ) is typically given as a mean value for small wavelength
bands. The luminous flux is then the summation over all intervals weighted by the v(λ))

Similarly, the calculation can be done for the radiant flux: Φ e =∑ Φeλi ∙ ∆ λ

Luminous efficacy of radiation: ratio between luminous and radiant flux of a light source:
k= φ/λ)φe
Luminous efficacy: η with unit lm/λ)w. It is a measure of how much luminous flux is
generated by an electrical light source in relation to the electrical power drawn. It is typically
used as an indicator for the energy efficiency of a lamp.
Illuminance: e with unit lux(lx). It is the areal density of the luminous flux and describes how

cylinder that is put vertically at a point in the space, to obtain composite illuminance
produces by incident light from various directions.
