Step-by-Step Calculationof Luminous Flux

• Measure radiant energy (Watts) from light source at each l across the visible spectrum (380 - 730 nm)

• Convert Watts to Lumens via the Vl curve and the photopic maximum luminous efficiency constant (683 lm/W at 555 nm)

• Integrate Lumens across visible spectrum
