Linked from

The 35 pages that link to Luminance, each with the reason it gives.

• Color (visual perception)Compared with: It is a measurable light quantity, not the full experience of color.

• IlluminanceCompared with: Illuminance describes incoming light; luminance describes light leaving toward an observer.

• Luminous fluxCompared with: It describes directional brightness, not total luminous output.

• RadianceCompared with: It applies the radiance framework to perceived brightness in human vision.

• Spectral radianceCompared with: It weights visible radiation by human visual sensitivity rather than measuring physical spectral power.

• ChromaticityCompared with: Chromaticity excludes brightness information that luminance measures.

• Luminous intensityCompared with: It adds source area to the directional measure of intensity.

• Chromaticity diagramCompared with: Unlike chromaticity coordinates, luminance records an intensity dimension omitted by the diagram.

• CandlepowerCompared with: It describes apparent brightness of an extended surface, not candlepower’s source intensity.
