| Details | A lumen (lm) is a unit of measurement for the total amount of visible light emitted by a source, such as a light bulb or a luminaire. It is a measure of the total "brightness" of the light source as perceived by the human eye. In the field of illuminance, lumens are used to quantify the amount of light falling on a surface. A square nanometre (nm²) is a unit of area that equals 10^-18 square meters. It is a very small unit and is typically used when measuring very tiny surfaces, such as in the world of nanotechnology. When you combine the two units, you get lumens per square nanometre (lm/nm²). This is a measure of the illuminance, or the amount of visible light per unit area. In this case, the unit area used is one square nanometre. It essentially tells you the intensity of light falling on that tiny surface area. However, it is a very uncommon unit, as the standard unit for illuminance is lux, which is lumens per square meter (lm/m²). It is much more common for illuminance to be reported in lux because a square meter is a more relatable and practical unit of area when discussing the light conditions experienced in everyday situations or larger scale environments, such as a room, an office, or a stadium. |
