Question 1

What is a Luminous Intensity?

Accepted Answer

Luminous flux (lumens) is the total perceived light output. Luminous efficacy (lm/W) measures how efficiently electricity is converted to visible light. LED: 80–120+ lm/W vs incandescent: ~15 lm/W.

Question 2

How does the Luminous Intensity work?

Accepted Answer

Lumens = Watts × Efficacy (lm/W) Then: Higher lumens = brighter light Then: Higher lm/W = more efficient; lower running cost Then: 800 lumens ≈ old 60W incandescent brightness.

Question 3

Can you give an example of how to use the Luminous Intensity?

Accepted Answer

Example: Input 10W LED, 100 lm/W efficacy gives a result of 1,000 lumens — equivalent to ~75W incandescent.

Question 4

Is the Luminous Intensity free to use?
