Electroluminescent Lighting Questions...
(OP)
I previously posted this over at CR4. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-What is the approx. lumen output(range) of electroluminescent lighting/strips? I have searched elsewhere and have had no luck...thank you.
-also, I understand color temperature, but is it related to lumens?! any help would be greatly appreciated!
-I've found an answer to my own question. 2-3 lumens per watt(i have seen greater output per watt). But it is spread out over a large area. Does any one know of a photometric measurement which can predict the lumen output compared to an incandescent bulb? I understand that the self-induced phosphoresence is at a difference wavelength and frequency...I have noticed in personal experiments that the acquisition of EL at long ranges is much better than incandescent(almost 5 times better). Even with smoke, debris(dust), and fog it can be acquired as much as 3 times earlier than incandescent. Maybe the EL light is perceived(by the eye) differently than incandescent so the lumens do not ever matter!?!? Thanks...

Lumens and color temperature are not related other that higher color temperature often goes with brighter lighting hence more lumens.
