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>
