lamp output in blender is quantified in units of "energy"; what photometric unit would best fit this general title? luminous intensity? luminous flux? luminous energy? i understand that the values will not be an identical match under any given blender circumstances, but, they must have based the concept of energy off of some understood physical/perceptual value.
any assistance would be appreciated!

Thank you.
i suppose i was referring to blender internal; i have not utilized a blender render external to the program itself.
i thought the developers of blender itself would have imbued actual physical values into their blender units at some point to provide a base understanding of what they were working with in relative physical space.
what sort of rendering mechanism might i be able to use to understand blender units (i.e. "energy") as physical values of candelas, luminance, reflectance, etc?
