8. Intensity of light.

(a)The minimum luminous intensity of lights shall be calculated by using the formula :
I = 3.43 × 106 × T × D2 × K -DWhere I is luminous intensity is candle as under service conditions,T is threshold factor 2 × 20-7 lux,D is range of visibility (luminous range) of the light in nautical miles,K is atmospheric transmissivity,For prescribed lights the value of K shall be 0.8, corresponding to a meteorological visibility of approximately 13 nautical miles
(b)A selection of figures derived from the formula is given in the following table :
Rangeof visibility (Luminous range) of light in nautical miles Luminousintensity of light in candle as for K = 0.81
1 0.9
2 4.3
3 12
4 27
5 52
6 94
Note. - The maximum luminous intensity of navigation lights should be limited to avoid undue glare.
