Hi folks. I'd like to suggest updating this article slightly to emphasise the parallels between the radiometric units and photometric units. I have my own 'cheat sheet' which is very similar to the tables here in the "Illuminance" and "Irradiance" articles, but with the related terms side by side (e.g. irradiance next to illuminance, radiant intensity next to luminous intensity etc.) I find this helpful in remembering and understanding the terminology. Thoughts anyone?

Regarding this edit, and the reason given: "Brightness usually meant luminance, not Illuminance."—that's exactly right, which is exactly why the also-common use of the term brightness to refer to illuminance led to confusion, as stated in the article.-- Srleffler ( talk) 04:22, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
I propose removing File:Illuminance.svg, because it does not relate to the article, and is not discussed in the article. The illustration contains many complicated symbols, which are not defined, and are above the level of an average encyclopedia reader. Illuminance is usually about the average light over an area, not at a point. Wikfr ( talk) 23:40, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
Is there a way to flag the second image to ask that it be re-done or replaced? While it gets the point across, it took me a minute to figure out that the person was being sprayed by a shower head. Myoglobin ( talk) 01:58, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

I believe that the levels in the Illuminance table are incorrect. While they match the source, they do not match more authoritative sources, like [1] and [2]. I propose they be reviewed and updated. Fredjikrang ( talk) 18:46, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
