luminous intensity; illuminating power, as of a lamp, or gas flame, measured in candelas, referring to the light of a standard candle.
Luminous intensity of a particular light source expressed in candlea.
An older terminology for luminous intensity. Defined as the intensity in candelas of light from a source.
An older term for intensity, interchangeable with candela.
The luminous intensity of a light source expressed in candles. Candlepower is a measurement of light intensity. It is used as a measurement of beam intensity at various angles from reflector lamps or fixtures.
a measurement of the light at the source, not at the object you light up
A measurement of output usually used in reference to the lighting ability of gas lanterns. 1 Candlepower = .625 W
An obsolete term for luminous intensity; current practice is to refer to this simply as candelas.
Initial mean spherical candlepower at the design voltage. Mean spherical candlepower is the generally accepted method of rating the total light output of miniature lamps. To convert this rating to lumens, multiply it by 12.57 (4 pi).
Luminous intensity of a light source measured in candela
The luminous intensity of a light source, as expressed in candelas.
A measure of intensity of light in a given direction (see Candela).
A measure of luminous intensity of a light source in a specific direction, measured in candelas (see above).
The unit measure of an incident light.
Luminous intensity expressed in candelas. Plots of luminous intensity, called candlepower distribution curves, are used to indicate the intensity distribution characteristics of reflector-type lamps. A measure of intensity mathematically related to lumens. Candlepower is often to measure the intensity of lamps that project light.
A term used for the luminous intensity of a light source. The intensity in any one direction from the standard candle is called one candela (formerly one candlepower; cp).
