This is called ppfd photosynthetic photon flux density. An inaccurateamount of light can damage the plant or results in improper growth. How intense light ppfd to expose various species to and for how long light intensity or rather how densely packed light is with photons is measured in micromoles per meter squared per second µmol m2 s.

Photometers test a solution for specific substances or properties. Very low to high uses the rear camera only intensity up to 100 000. It describes the number of photons of light within the photosynthetic waveband that an area of 1 sq meter receives per second. Luminous intensity is measured in lumens per square meter lux or lx or lumens per square foot foot candles or ft c.
