luminance

Photometric term characterizing the way in which a surface emits or reflects light in a given direction. It is equal to the luminous intensity measured in a given direction divided by the area of this surface projected on a perpendicular to the direction considered. Symbol: L. Units: candela per square metre (SI unit); footlambert; lambert, etc. See brightness; candela per square metre; footlambert; lambert; lightness; millilambert; nit; photometry; SI unit.
