Luminous Emittance

</dt>
The emittance of visible radiation weighted to take into account the different response of the human eye to different wavelengths of light. See luminous efficiency. </dd>
In photometry, luminous emittance is always used as a property of a self-luminous source, and therefore should be distinguished from luminance. [[/a>|/a> ]]
