[5.9.11.5.5]
(of a source)
NOTE: This definition was changed in RP-16-17 Addendum 4. Deletions have a strike-through. New text is bold.
A number that expresses the effects of source luminance (Ls), solid angle factor (Q), position index (P), and the field luminance (F) on discomfort glare rating, where Ls and F are expressed in cd/m2.
M = (0.5 Ls Q)/(PF0.44)
See solid angle factor, Q for an equation defining Q.
Note: A restatement of this formula lends itself more directly to computer applications.
