Sensation luminance: a new name to distinguish CIE luminance from luminance dependent on an individual's spectral sensitivity.
The term sensation luminance is proposed when light measures are made which depend on individual observer's spectral sensitivity. The unit of measure for sensation luminance is ives/m2. When sensation luminance is used to calculate retinal illuminance the term sensation trolands is proposed.
