Candela
Candela (cd) is the SI unit of Luminous Intensity. It indicates the strength of light emission and is defined as the luminous power per unit solid angle emitted by a light source in a particular direction.
Luminous Flux / Luminous Power is the amount of light energy radiated from a source in all directions per second and is denoted as F.
Unit Solid Angle means the solid angle of a sphere subtended by a portion of the surface whose area is equal to the square of the sphere's radius.
Luminous Intensity (Iv) of a light source is the emitted luminous power or luminous flux per unit solid angle.
Watt
Watt is a unit of Power. It is the amount of energy a system requires to function. When electricity flows at a rate of one joule (unit of energy) per second, it is one watt.
