SI photometry unitsQuantity Symbol SI unit Abbr. Notes

Luminous energy Qv lumen second lm.s units are sometimes called talbotsLuminous flux F lumen (= cd.sr) lm also called luminous powerLuminous intensity

Iv candela (=lumen/sr) cd an SI base unit

Luminance Lv candela/square meter cd/m2 units are sometimes called "nits"Illuminance Ev lux (= lm/m2) lx used for light incident on a surfaceLuminous Mv lux (= lm/m2) lx used for light emitted on a surface

emittanceLuminous efficacy

lumen/watt lm/Wratio of luminouos flux to radiant flux
