Therefore, we are surrounded by non-luminous objects.
What is lumens per watt could you give a brief definition about lumens per watt?
Luminous efficacy is a figure of merit for light sources. It is the ratio of luminous flux (in lumens) to power (usually measured in watts). As most commonly used, it is the ratio of luminous flux emitted from a light source to the electric power consumed by the source, and thus describes how well the source provides visible light from a given amount of electricity.This is also referred to as luminous efficacy of a source.
