[Radiance-general] Conversion of RGB irradiance values to a illuminance value

[Claus Brøndgaard Madsen]

Dear list members,

I use hemi-spherical HDR images to compute a vertical irradiance value (W/m^2) for each color channel.

If I wish to compare/calibrate these numbers to a reading from a light meter (giving illuminance in Lux) how do I go about converting the three (RGB) irradiances to illuminance?

Cheers,
Claus
