How Does Candela, lumen and lux - Measuring light: from fizzics.org Work?

Imagine you're playing with a flashlight, that’s how we’ll understand candela, lumen, and lux.

You know when you shine your flashlight on the floor, it gets bright? That brightness is measured in lux. It's like saying how much light is falling on a specific spot, kind of like how many candies land on a plate at a party.

Now, think about the flashlight itself. How bright is it? That’s where candela comes in. It's like how hard you're pushing that flashlight, the more power behind it, the brighter it feels from far away.

But what about all the light coming out of the flashlight? That’s measured in lumen. Imagine your flashlight is a candy factory, and every second, it sends out a certain number of candies into the room, those are the lumens. The more candies (or light), the brighter it feels everywhere.

So:

• Candela is like how hard you're pushing the flashlight.
• Lumen is like all the candies going out from the flashlight.
• Lux is like how many of those candies end up on your plate, or floor, right where you are.
