Unit Definitions:
- Lux (lx): A unit of illuminance, measuring luminous flux per unit area.
- Candela (cd): A unit of luminous intensity, measuring the light emitted from a source.
- Lumens (lm): A unit of luminous flux, representing the total quantity of light emitted.
- Foot-candles (fc): A unit of illuminance, measuring light intensity on a surface in the imperial system (1 fc = 1 lm/ft²).
