Lux was a unit of light illumination equal to one lumen per square meter.
The Beacon of Kahless was capable of producing "massive photonic activity", producing an output of over 1 billion lumens per square meter. When the USS Shenzhou was present in 2256, when the beacon was lit, the level of output it produced overloaded the ship's optical sensors, and was even too much for the plasmatic filters at operating at 100%.
