Lumen

Lumen is the SI unit of Luminous Flux. It indicates the total amount of visible light emitted from a source.

Luminous Flux / Luminous Power is the amount of light energy radiated from a source in all directions per second and is denoted as F.

Foot-candle

Foot-candle (fc) is the non-SI unit of illumination. It is a measurement of the amount of light that falls on a surface at one foot from a single candle. The term "foot-candle," originates from a time when candles were the primary light source.


illuminance (Ev) is the amount of luminous flux per unit area.
