Light Normalize : What formula or equation is effective on the intensity of the light when we turn on and off normalize?

light-radius-and-normalize.pdf

Hey Guys, i was studying light normalize and light radius and its relations, I've prepared a document on it please look through.

But to understand it on mathematical terms i was not not able to find any formula that is changing light intensity when we switch off the normalize.

can anyone help me with that?

Normalize will spread a constant amount of output over the surface of the light, so it's the same amount of output regardless of size. With it off, it's a constant output per unit area, so increasing the scale will increase the output.

In math terms, that's O=C for normalized, or O=C*A for non-normalized, where O is total output, A is the area of the light, and C is the exposure or intensity.
