- When a book is placed on a table, different levels of illuminance can be observed depending on whether the sky is overcast, the time of day, or whether the surface is indirectly lit.
- Illuminance is a measure of the amount of light that falls on a surface per unit area. It is determined by the intensity of the light source and the distance from the light source to the surface, but is independent of the characteristics of the surface it strikes, such as its colour or reflectivity.
