Electric consumption

Brightness varies depending on distance. So the further away you are the dimmer the light source appears.

Brightness is also inversely proportional to sound level, which is why some people look quite bright untill you hear them speak. 🤣

Oooh! Time to be picky and show off 🙂

Luminance and Brightness are not the same thing.

Luminance, measured in Lumens, is a measure of the light emitted at the source and all things being equal is constant.

Brightness varies depending on distance. So the further away you are the dimmer the light source appears.

Todays lecture over.

So they didn't throw any light on the subject. 🙂

Reminds me of a Goonshow joke when Seagoon says 'What, what, what, what' and I think Grytpype-Thynne says 'Only four whats - not very bright is it'

When you did your apprenticeship they probably only had paraffin lamps! 🤣 🤣 🤣

That would have been nice but unfortunately it was November to March. For a city teenager it was a pretty dismal experience being exiled from friends in such a small town. The work was interesting but the apres travail left much to be desired.
