Luminous Intensity Formula Elements

Variables
Luminous Intensity
Luminous intensity is a measure of the amount of light emitted by a light source in a specific direction. It quantifies the brightness or concentration of light in that direction.
Symbol: Iv
Measurement: Luminous IntensityUnit: cd
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Lumen
Lumen is a unit of measurement that quantifies the total amount of visible light emitted by a light source. It represents the brightness or light output of the source, irrespective of direction.
Symbol: Lm
Measurement: Luminous FluxUnit: cd*sr
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Solid Angle
Solid angle is a measure of the extent of a cone-shaped region in three-dimensional space, originating from a point and defined by its vertex angle. It quantifies the spatial coverage.
Symbol: ω
Measurement: Solid AngleUnit: sr
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Luminous Intensity?

Luminous Intensity evaluator uses Luminous Intensity = Lumen/Solid Angle to evaluate the Luminous Intensity, Luminous intensity often referred to as candlepower, is a fundamental photometric quantity that describes the amount of visible light emitted by a light source in a specific direction per unit solid angle. It takes into account both the power of the light source and the human eye's sensitivity to different wavelengths of light. Luminous Intensity is denoted by Iv symbol.

How to evaluate Luminous Intensity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Luminous Intensity, enter Lumen (Lm) & Solid Angle (ω) and hit the calculate button.
