nounpl: light output calculations
cálculo de saída luminosa
1. The process of determining or computing the amount of visible light emitted by a light source, typically measured in lumens or candelas
The engineer performed a light output calculation to ensure the LED fixture met the project specifications.
O engenheiro realizou um cálculo de saída luminosa para garantir que a luminária LED atendesse às especificações do projeto.
2. A technical assessment used in lighting design to predict or verify the brightness and illumination levels produced by lamps, fixtures, or lighting systems
Accurate light output calculation is essential for designing energy-efficient lighting solutions.
O cálculo preciso de saída luminosa é essencial para projetar soluções de iluminação eficientes em energia.
3. Mathematical computation involving factors such as lamp efficacy, ballast losses, and fixture efficiency to determine actual usable light
The light output calculation accounts for losses in the ballast and fixture components.
O cálculo de saída luminosa leva em conta as perdas no reator e nos componentes da luminária.
This is technical terminology widely used in both Brazilian and American lighting engineering, architecture, and construction industries. In Brazil, professionals use this term when complying with NBR (Norma Brasileira) standards for lighting design. The concept is fundamental to modern energy efficiency initiatives and LED adoption across both countries.
