The luminous efficiency of an electric lamp is the ratio of the luminous flux (in lumen) emitted by the lamp to the electric power (watt) given to it i.e. Luminous efficiency η = Luminous flux/Watt Note:- Lumens is the unit of measurement for luminous flux, which is the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. 1
During the positive half cycle of the supply, diodes D1 and D2 conduct are forward biased and conduct current while diodes D3 and D4 are reverse biased and they act as an open circuit, the current flows through the load.
