NTENSITY
Luminous Intensity is the luminous flux per unit solid angle in a given direction and is calculated from
Radiant
Intensity (watts/steradian)
. It can be easily thought of as luminous flux (lumens) traveling through a cone (solid
angle) in a given direction (for example the forward 180°). Luminous intensity is given in
candelas (lumens /
steradian)
or
millicandelas
(1 candela = 1000 millicandelas).

FIGURE 83 - LR-730 LED RECEPTOR
Typical applications for the measurement of luminous intensity include small lamps (in
candelas) and LED’s
(millicandelas). For the measurement of luminous intensity, the PR-7XX can be equipped with the LR-730 LED
Receptor. During calibration, these accessories are calibrated using sources where the precise area being
sampled is used to calculate candelas as given by
