Luminous efficiency
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007063
The ratio of luminous flux to radiant flux, indicating how effectively a light source converts electrical power into visible light. It quantifies the human eye's perception of light at different wavelengths, with peak sensitivity around 555 nanometers. This efficiency is expressed in lumens per watt.
