What is a luminous flux?
Light flux, expressed in lumens, is the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. This is the direct indicator of the brightness of a lamp; the higher the lumen value, the brighter the light. This is crucial in determining the efficiency of different light sources. Unlike wattage, which indicates power consumption, light flux reflects the actual 'light output'.
Luminous flux units
There are various terms to consider when it comes to lighting. Some terms are also sometimes used interchangeably. This is occasionally the case with watts and lumens. The lumens of your lighting tells you how much light a lamp actually emits. Lumen therefore indicates how much light a lamp emits, but not how much light you get on a particular surface. An example: when you have two LED work lights in the same place on your vehicle, the worklight with more lumens will emit more light.
The Wattage indicates the voltage of a connection. Volt is an abbreviation of the word voltage. In the world of lighting terms, the word Volt is expressed with the letter "V". For vehicles, LED lights are usually equipped with either a 12-volt or a 24-volt connection.
The number of Volt indicates the voltage of a connection. Volt is an abbreviation of the word voltage. In the world of lighting terms, the word Volt is expressed with the letter "V". For vehicles, LED lights are usually equipped with either a 12-volt or a 24-volt connection.
The number of Ampere indicates the amperage. In the world of lighting, the word Ampère is indicated by the letter "A". The stronger the current, the stronger the magnetic field. As a result, two parallel current wires are attracted to each other. When these two cables are connected to the same power source and they attract each other with the right force, each cable has one ampere.
