How to Measure Light Intensity
In architectural lighting, light intensity or light output is measured to understand whether a particular light source provides enough light for an intended application. The lighting industry has well-established light level recommendations for a wide range of applications and space types. It is especially useful to understand light intensity in order to properly evaluate whether or not a space has adequate lighting conditions.
This article will cover a few basic principles related to light intensity – how to measure light intensity, the difference is between lumens and illuminance (and what they mean), plus we will discuss the ways in which artificial light has become so critical to our daily lives and well-being.
