✦ Synopsis

Analytical expressions for calculation of luminous flux and luminous efficacy corresponding to a given radiant flux with black-body spectrum are presented. The results are directly applicable to extraterrestrial solar radiant flux and likewise to any other light source with a spectral distribution roughly equal to a black-body spectrum.
