Lux and candela are both units of measurement for light intensity, but they measure different aspects of light. Lux measures the amount of light that falls on a surface, while candela measures the brightness of a light source in a specific direction. Lux is used to determine the brightness of an illuminated area, while candela is used to measure the intensity of a light source. In essence, lux measures the light that is received, while candela measures the light that is emitted.
Candela measures the brightness of a light source in a specific direction, while lux measures the amount of light that falls on a surface per unit area. Candela is a measure of luminous intensity, while lux is a measure of illuminance.
Lumens measure the total amount of light emitted by a source, candela measures the intensity of light in a specific direction, and lux measures the amount of light that falls on a surface. Lumens indicate overall brightness, candela measures brightness in a specific direction, and lux measures brightness on a surface.
Light intensity is also known as luminosity. Candela is the si unit
Candela measures the intensity of light emitted in a specific direction, lumens measure the total amount of light emitted by a source, and lux measures the amount of light that falls on a surface. Candela is used for directional light sources like flashlights, lumens for overall brightness of a light source, and lux for the brightness of light on a surface.
The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela.
A candela is a unit of measurement for light sources and light emissions. Light beams projects different color at different wavelengths, and a candela is used to measure the intensity of the light.
candela--------------------------------------------The official international definition of candela (1979) is:"The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x 10e12 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian".
Candela measures the brightness of a light source in a specific direction, while lux measures the amount of light that falls on a surface per unit area. Candela is a measure of luminous intensity, while lux is a measure of illuminance.
Intensity is measured in Candela. Candela is its SI unit.
Lumens measure the total amount of light emitted by a source, candela measures the intensity of light in a specific direction, and lux measures the amount of light that falls on a surface. Lumens indicate overall brightness, candela measures brightness in a specific direction, and lux measures brightness on a surface.

candela
Candela measures the intensity of light emitted in a specific direction, lumens measure the total amount of light emitted by a source, and lux measures the amount of light that falls on a surface. Candela is used for directional light sources like flashlights, lumens for overall brightness of a light source, and lux for the brightness of light on a surface.
The meter is a unit of length, the candela is a unit of luminous intensity.
The SI unit of Intensity of light is CANDELA.
Candela measures luminous intensity, or brightness perceived by the human eye, and is used to quantify the amount of light emitted by a source in a particular direction. Kelvin measures color temperature, indicating the hue of light emitted by a source, with lower values representing warmer (yellowish) light and higher values representing cooler (bluish) light.
The symbol of candela is cd. The luminous intensity or candlepower of a light is expressed in candelas.
