Both have units of $\mu\text{mol m}^{-2}\text{s}^{-1}$ and refer to light in the 400-700 nm range - that activates photosynthesis. However, I just want to confirm that these are synonyms and don't have slightly different meanings; does it follow that light radiation is defined as a photon flux density?
