Luminous flux

The luminous flux (Φ) describes the total radiant power of a light source and is measured in lumens (lm). It indicates how much visible radiation a light source emits per unit of time, taking into account the sensitivity of the human eye (V-lambda curve). Therefore, luminous flux is a measure of the brightness of a light source as perceived by the human eye.
