Luminous energy	Qv	lumen second	lm⋅s	T J	The lumen second is sometimes called the talbot.
Luminous flux, luminous power	Qv	lumen (= candela steradian)	lm (= cd⋅sr)	J	Luminous energy per unit time
Luminous intensity	Iv	candela (= lumen per steradian)	cd (= lm/sr)	J	Luminous flux per unit solid angle
