## Spectral Luminous Efficacy Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Spectral Luminous Efficacy = Maximum Sensitivity*Photopic Efficiency Value
Kλ = Km*Vλ
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Spectral Luminous Efficacy - (Measured in Lumen Per Watt) - Spectral Luminous Efficacy is a measure of how well a light source produces visible light. It is the ratio of luminous flux to power, measured in lumens per watt (lm/w).
Maximum Sensitivity - (Measured in Lumen Per Watt) - The maximum sensitivity for photopic vision, which occur at 555nm.
Photopic Efficiency Value - Photopic efficiency value of the photopic spectral luminous efficiency function for that wavelength.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Maximum Sensitivity: 55.8 Lumen Per Watt --> 55.8 Lumen Per Watt No Conversion Required
Photopic Efficiency Value: 45.9 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Kλ = Km*Vλ --> 55.8*45.9
Evaluating ... ...
Kλ = 2561.22
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2561.22 Lumen Per Watt --> No Conversion Required
2561.22 Lumen Per Watt <-- Spectral Luminous Efficacy

## < 7 Methods of Lighting Calculators

Number of Lamps Required for Illumination
Number of Lamp = (Illumination Intensity*Area of Illumination)/(Luminous Flux*Utilization Factor*Maintenance Factor)
Intensity of Light Transmitted
Intensity of Transmitted Light = Intensity of Light Entering the Material*exp(-Absorption Coefficient*Path Length)
Number of Floodlighting Units
Number of Floodlighting Units = (Area to be Lighted*Illumination Intensity)/(0.7*Lumen Flux)
Spectral Transmission Factor
Spectral Transmission Factor = Transmitted Spectral Emission/Spectral Irradiation
Spectral Reflection Factor
Spectral Reflection Factor = Reflected Spectral Emission/Spectral Irradiation
Spectral Luminous Efficacy
Spectral Luminous Efficacy = Maximum Sensitivity*Photopic Efficiency Value
Luminance for Lambertian Surfaces
Luminance = Illumination Intensity/pi
