From Wikipedia:
Luminosity and Brightness are both ambiguous terms, and are often used interchangeably. Neither guarantees that one is doing eye-equivalent weighting, or talking about total power, though brightness is usually used as eye-equivalent (or detector equivalent).
Quote:Luminous flux differs from power (radiant flux) in that radiant flux includes all electromagnetic waves emitted, while luminous flux is weighted according to a model (a "luminosity function") of the human eye's sensitivity to various wavelengths.
