What is the difference between efficacy and efficiency in lighting?
- Efficacy is the amount of light output per unit of power input, while efficiency is the amount of light output per unit of energy input.
- Efficacy is the amount of light output per unit of energy input, while efficiency is the amount of light output per unit of power input.
- Efficacy and efficiency are the same thing.
- Efficacy is a measure of how much light is lost due to absorption and reflection, while efficiency is a measure of how much light is produced by the lamp.
