In order to better understand of the following technical work it is important to know some definitions of the light engineering. In this chapter I will give a short explanation of some light technical definitions like luminous flux, luminous intensity, illuminace, luminance and inverse square law.

Title  Symbol  Unit 
luminous flux   Φ  lumen [lm] 
luminous intensity   candela [cd]  
illuminance   lux [lx]  
luminance  candela per square meter[cd/m²] 
inverse square law
