Formula. Mathematically, illuminance (E) is expressed as the ratio of luminous flux (Φ) incident onto a surface to the surface area (A) receiving that flux. This core formula can be articulated as follows: E = Φ A E = Φ A. Where: – ∅ is luminous flux (in lumens or lm) – A is the surface area (in square meters or m²). More @Wikipedia
