New unit irradiance

=== Why do we not use irradiance? ===
We know the surface, but we still need an angle
* Could be lost of energy in a huge angle
* little energy in a small angle
New unit Radiance
* Flux per unit area angle
* W / (m^2 * radians)
== Basic question ==
How do we calculate how much light exits a surface point in a given direction
