Name | Symbol[nb 1] | Name | Symbol | Symbol[nb 2] | ||||
Luminous energy | Qv[nb 3] | lumen second | lm⋅s | T J | The lumen second is sometimes called the talbot. | |||
Luminous flux, luminous power | Φv[nb 3] | lumen (= candela steradian) | lm (= cd⋅sr) | J | Luminous energy per unit time | |||
Luminous intensity | Iv | candela (= lumen per steradian) | cd (= lm/sr) | J | Luminous flux per unit solid angle | |||
Luminance | Lv | candela per square metre | cd/m2 (= lm/(sr⋅m2)) | L−2J | Luminous flux per unit solid angle per unit projected source area. The candela per square metre is sometimes called the nit. | |||

Luminous efficacy (of radiation) | K | lumen per watt | lm/W | M−1L−2T3J | Ratio of luminous flux to radiant flux | |||
Luminous efficacy (of a source) | η[nb 3] | lumen per watt | lm/W | M−1L−2T3J | Ratio of luminous flux to power consumption | |||

- ↑ Standards organizations recommend that photometric quantities be denoted with a subscript "v" (for "visual") to avoid confusion with radiometric or photon quantities. For example: USA Standard Letter Symbols for Illuminating Engineering USAS Z7.1-1967, Y10.18-1967
- ↑ The symbols in this column denote dimensions; "L", "T" and "J" are for length, time and luminous intensity respectively, not the symbols for the units litre, tesla and joule.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 Alternative symbols sometimes seen: W for luminous energy, P or F for luminous flux, and ρ for luminous efficacy of a source.
