My wife and I attended this Dental Congress in Jasper this last week and she ran into the following pamphlet from the above-referenced company - or is it a product name?... (my personal "comments" - except for the Lux one - are in parenthesis):
Question 1: What is the output for the Microlux? Answer: 200 Foot Candles (SIC) (over 2000 Lux) Question 2: Why is this measured in foot candles instead of the way we would measure curing lights in mW/cm2? Answer: Photometric measurement (foot candles) is the way visible light is measured because that is the way the human eye sees light (?? I beg your pardon???...). Curing lights are measured in radiometric units (mW/cm2) and cannot (???) be compared to photometric measurements. I need help here to understand this issue better. Can anyone comment on this piece above please? It sounds to me that this guy's understanding of Physics is dismal to say the least, but since luminescence science is not my forte... And, finally, if someone can write these guys to "straighten them out" I'd really appreciate it... I'd be willing to do it myself also if I could technically dispute their writings... Thanks for your help.
