Luminous flux is visually evaluated radiant flux (the total electromagnetic energy that a light source emits across all wavelengths).
The case for luminous flux
"Combined with a lens and reflector, the 3W high efficiency LED produces a bright, uniform luminous flux of 200 lumen at the TX 40 and 114 lumen at the TX 20, which ensures optimum illumination of the work area." The CX40 and CX20 charger units use an inductive coupling system.
