Lighting and radiation

//Lighting and radiation

Lighting (LUX)

“Lighting” is defined as the luminous flow received by a surface. It measures the quantity of light in the visible spectrum (CIE curve). Often indicates a magnitude in LUX or Klux, which is directly proportional to the lighting, and visibility in a space.

Luminancia

We call luminancia to the relation between the luminous intensity and the surface seen by the eye in a determined direction. Therefore, it is a direct evaluation of the light source.

Radiation

GLOBAL Measurement of the global radiation (PIRANOMETRO) covering the entire spectral range. NETA Measurement of the net radiation corresponding to the difference of direct and reflected radiation. PAR. Measurement of the radiation that lies in the spectral band PAR (400 to 700 nm) directly affecting photosynthesis effect. UV-A Measurement of the radiation that lies in the spectral band UVA (320 to 400 nm). This is the closest zone to the ultraviolet visible spectrum. UV-B Measurement of the radiation that lies in the spectral band UVB (280 to 320 nm). This is the ultraviolet zone most distant to visible spectrum. VIR [...]
