Radiation

The radiation strength describes the Radiation performance a light source, i.e. the electromagnetic energy that meets a certain area. She will be in watt measured per square meter (f/m²) and indicates how much radiation energy a surface receives per unit of time. The radiation strength not only includes visible light, but also other wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) radiation.

This value plays a decisive role in areas such as solar technology, where it influences the efficiency of solar modules, or in medicine, for example in UV radiation. The radiation strength is also important in photography and plant growth systems because it determines the intensity of the lighting effect. It is often measured by special sensors or radiometers in order to obtain precise results and to meet the specific requirements of an application.
