Definição
A unidade derivada do SI de fluxo luminoso, medindo a quantidade total de luz visível emitida por uma fonte por segundo (1 lm = 1 cd·sr).
Explicação
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.
