  2. Averted vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averted_vision

    Averted vision works because there are virtually no rods (cells which detect dim light in black and white) in the fovea: a small area in the center of the eye. The fovea contains primarily cone cells, which serve as bright light and color detectors and are not as useful during the night. This situation results in a decrease in visual ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotopic_vision

    The elephant hawk-moth (Deilephila elpenor) displays advanced color discrimination even in dim starlight. [ 8 ] Mesopic vision occurs in intermediate lighting conditions ( luminance level 10 −3 to 10 0.5 cd /m 2 ) [ citation needed ] and is effectively a combination of scotopic and photopic vision .

    The ambient light sensor of a Google Pixel 4a smartphone under a microscope. An ambient light sensor is a component in smartphones, notebooks, other mobile devices, automotive displays and LCD TVs. It is a photodetector that is used to sense the amount of ambient light present, and appropriately dim the device's screen to match it.

  7. Daylight harvesting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_harvesting

    There is an incremental cost to daylight harvesting systems. Dividing this cost by the annual energy savings provides a "simple payback", the number of years for the system to pay for itself. [19] The shorter the calculated payback period, the more likely it is that a building owner will invest in the system. Costs vary for a whole host of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Addressable...

    Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a trademark for network-based products that control lighting.The underlying technology was established by a consortium of lighting equipment manufacturers as a successor for 1-10 V/ 0–10 V lighting control systems, and as an open standard alternative to several proprietary protocols.

  9. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometry_(optics)

    Radiant energy outside the visible spectrum does not contribute to photometric quantities at all, so for example a 1000 watt space heater may put out a great deal of radiant flux (1000 watts, in fact), but as a light source it puts out very few lumens (because most of the energy is in the infrared, leaving only a dim red glow in the visible).
