Perhaps. It's interesting that the weewx docs have an example of renaming 'luminosity' to 'illuminance' (link) <https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.1/utilities/weectl-database/?h=luminosity#rename-an-observation-type> and mention if for one model of fousb only.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity - energy per unit of time (W) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance - energy per unit of area (W/m2) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminance (aka brightness) in lux - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux FWIW as an example - a WeatherFlow station emits 'solar_radiation' and 'illuminance' readings from the hardware. They report them as W/m2 and lux respectively. Weewx group_radiation uses W/m2 for 'radiation' and 'maxSolarRad' and group_illuminance uses lux for 'illuminance' if that helps any. There was a long discussion in jan-2019 (wow) in the WF dev forum about the differences. That particular gear derives radiation from the brightness and uv sensors in the hardware. Guess every vendor does it their own way. I think you talked my 'perhaps' above into a 'probably yes'.
