: The translations given here are correct only in a general context - not in the field of Physics, which requires specialized English terminology for these terms. And in the question's context, 'veladora' is an ADJECTIVE modifying 'luminancia', not a noun!

candle luminance/obscurity
Acho que o termo é esse de acordo coma as pesquisas que eu fiz...
luminancia tem a ver com a intensidade luminosa refletida por uma fonte luminosa como uma vela. Acho que é isso aí...

: I think it's "velador" < "velar" = "to veil" (not "vela" = "candle"). For example, at night when another car's headlights are coming at you, their "luminance" (glare) "veils" your view (blocks your view).

MAJOR TYPO!
I somehow put "luminância veladora / obscuring" (half in Portuguese!) as the ANSWER.
SHOULD BE:
"veiling luminance / obscuring"
