luminous efficiency of radiation
1luminous efficiency — /lumənəs əˈfɪʃənsi/ (say loohmuhnuhs uh fishuhnsee) noun 1. (of a source) the ratio of the light emitted to the energy input, especially when expressed as lumens per watt for electric lamps. 2. (of a radiation) the ratio of the luminous flux to… …
2Luminous efficacy — is a measure of how well a light source produces visible light. It is the ratio of luminous flux to power. Depending on context, the power can be either the radiant flux of the source s output, or it can be the total electric power consumed by… …
3Energy conversion efficiency — Output energy is always lower than input energy …

8Photometry (optics) — This article deals with the usage of this term in optics and lighting .Photometry is the science of measurement of light, in terms of its perceived brightness to the human eye. It is distinct from radiometry, which is the science of measurement… …
9Luminosity function — The luminosity function or luminous efficiency function describes the average sensitivity of the human eye to light of different wavelengths. It should not be considered perfectly accurate in every case, but it is a very good representation of… …
10Grow light — A grow light is an electric lamp designed to promote plant growth by emitting an electromagnetic spectrum appropriate for photosynthesis. The emitted light spectrum is similar to that from the sun, allowing indoor growth with outdoor conditions.… …
