Lumen is a physical unit describing luminous flux, which is explained by physics as the total emitted luminous flux produced by a candle in a solid angle. It is defined in terms of candela sphere angle (cd times sr). A lumen is the amount of light emitted in 1 spherical angle unit, emitting the same amount of energy in all directions from the light source, and the intensity is 1cd. 1 lumen is equal to 1.46 milliwatts (1.46 x 10^-3W) of radiated electromagnetic energy (EM) at a frequency of 540 terahertz (540 THz or 5.40 x 10 Hz). Reduced to the SI base unit, 1 lumen is equal to 0.00146 kilograms square meters per second cubed (1.46 x 10 kilograms times m/s).
