What is Lumen?

- The luminous flux indicates how much light a light source produces
radiates in all directions. The higher the lumen value,
the more light a lamp emits per unit of time.

What is Candela?

i.e. that portion of the luminous flux that points in a certain direction.

-For the driver, the pure lumen value has almost no meaning.
The lux value in connection with the distance is rather of
Importance for evaluating the performance of a lamp.
- The indication of an E-mark does not necessarily indicate that product
has road approval, what is much more important here is which ECE categories
