lichtstärkere

lichtstärkere is a German term that translates to "brighter" or "more luminous" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "lichtstark," meaning strong in light or bright. This term is frequently used in contexts related to optics, photography, and astronomy to describe a light source or an optical instrument that is capable of producing or transmitting more light.

In photography, a lens with a larger maximum aperture is considered "lichtstärkere" because it allows more light to enter the camera sensor, enabling shorter exposure times or better performance in low-light conditions. This is often indicated by a lower f-number. Similarly, in astronomy, a telescope with a larger objective lens or mirror is "lichtstärkere" as it can gather more light from distant celestial objects, making them appear brighter and more detailed. The term can also apply to light bulbs or other illumination devices, where a "lichtstärkere" option provides a greater illuminance for a given area. It fundamentally refers to an enhanced capability in light intensity or transmission.
