2. Lighting
Lighting techniques designed to meet lighting needs are based on :
-
photometry, whose values are :
luminous intensity (in candela - cd),
luminous flux (in lumen – lm),
illuminance (in lux – lx),
luminance (in candela per square metre – cd.m -2 );
colorimetry, whose variables are color temperature (T cp in Kelvin – K) and color rendering index (CRI or R a on a scale from 0 to 100).
