- ↑ The symbols in this column denote dimensions; "L", "T" and "J" are for length, time and luminous intensity respectively, not the symbols for the units litre, tesla and joule.
- ↑ Standards organizations recommend that photometric quantities be denoted with a subscript "v" (for "visual") to avoid confusion with radiometric or photon quantities. For example: USA Standard Letter Symbols for Illuminating Engineering USAS Z7.1-1967, Y10.18-1967
- ↑ a b c Alternative symbols sometimes seen: Template:Mvar for luminous energy, Template:Mvar or Template:Mvar for luminous flux, and Template:Mvar for luminous efficacy of a source.
