The 50 lighting words you can't know
From:2017.10.07
Guide language: the connotation of green lighting contains high efficiency energy saving, environmental protection, safety, comfortable 4 index, indispensable. Efficient energy saving means that it can obtain sufficient illumination by consuming less electricity, thus significantly reducing the emission of atmospheric pollutants in power plants and achieving environmental protection.
1. Greenlights, green lighting
The connotation of green lighting includes four indicators of high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection, safety and comfort. Efficient energy saving means that it can obtain sufficient illumination by consuming less electricity, thus significantly reducing the emission of atmospheric pollutants in power plants and achieving environmental protection. Safe and comfortable means that the light is clear, soft and does not produce uv, glare and other harmful light, does not produce light pollution.
2. Visual task visualtask
In work and activity, the observation of the details and objectives presented in the background. Visual work is divided into primary visual and secondary visual tasks, depending on the area of visual retention.

3. Luminous flux luminousflux
Light metric derived from radiation to the standard photometric observer. The unit is lumen (lm), 1lm=1cd/ 1sr. For bright vision:
Type in the
D Φ e (lambda)/d lambda - the spectral distribution of radiation flux;
Nu (lambda) - spectral light (apparent) efficiency;
Km- the maximum value of the spectral (visual) efficiency of radiation. The unit is lumen per watt (lm/W). In monochromatic radiation, the Km value under the visual condition is 683lm/W (lambda m= 555nm).

Theta -- the Angle between the normal of the beam cross section and the direction of the beam.
6. Light illuminance
The intensity of illumination refers to the amount of energy in the unit area that receives the visible light, or as the illumination, the unit Lux (Lux or Lx). A physical term used to indicate the intensity of light and the amount of surface area being illuminated.
