Basic Knowledge
Difference Between Lumens and Lux
Lumen (lm) is the unit of total light emitted by a light source (luminous flux), while lux (lx) is the unit of brightness on an illuminated surface (illuminance). One lux is the brightness when 1 lumen of light reaches 1 square meter. When choosing lighting, fixtures are measured in lumens, while surface brightness is measured in lux.
What is Candela
Candela (cd) is an SI base unit that expresses the intensity of light (luminous intensity) emitted by a light source in a specific direction. The name derives from the fact that the brightness of approximately one candle equals roughly 1 candela.
