3. Terms
Photons: A type of elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force (Light)
Lumens: the SI unit of luminous flux, equal to the amount of light emitted per second in a unit solid angle of one steradian from a uniform source of one candela. (Measure of Light)
Foot Candle: a unit of illumination (now little used) equal to that given by a source of one candela at a distance of one foot (equivalent to one lumen per square foot or lux). (Another measure of light)
Troffer: A light fixture that fits in a modular ceiling grid
