ルーメン

定義

SI組立光束の単位で、光源から毎秒放射される可視光の総量を測定する(1 lm = 1 cd·sr)。

解説

A 60-watt incandescent bulb emits about 800 lumens; an equivalent LED uses only 8–10 watts for the same output. A candle produces roughly 12–13 lumens. Unlike watts (which measure power input), lumens measure actual light output — making them the correct metric for comparing bulb brightness across different technologies.
