SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of lumens per cubic meter (lumens/m³) and its relevance in measuring light. It concludes that lumens/m² is a more meaningful measure of perceived brightness, as lumens represent light that reaches the human eye. The conversation highlights that while lumens/m³ is not a standard unit, it could be conceptually applied to scenarios involving light scattering in mediums like fog or fluid. The participants clarify that lumens/m² cannot be directly converted to a volumetric measure of electromagnetic energy.
