Luminous intensity is a measure of the amount of light emitted from a light source in a particular direction. It is an important concept in lighting design, photometry, and visual arts. The standard unit of measurement for luminous intensity is candela (cd).

Here are some examples of luminous intensity in real-world scenarios:

Lighting design: Luminous intensity is used to determine the amount of light needed for different applications. For example, the luminous intensity of a spotlight would need to be much higher than that of a lamp used for general lighting.

Traffic lighting: Luminous intensity is an important factor in traffic lighting. Traffic signals need to be visible from a distance, even in bright sunlight, and must meet specific standards for luminous intensity.

Headlights: Luminous intensity is a key factor in the design of automotive headlights. Headlights need to be bright enough to illuminate the road ahead, but not so bright that they blind oncoming drivers.

The SI unit of Luminous Intensity is candela [ cd ]
