What is the difference of a luminance meter and light sensor?

When selecting a type from the dropdown, you can choose between a Luminance meter and a Light sensor. What are the difference? And is Light sensor in this sense the same as Lux sensor?

Can it ever be the other way around: a Luminance sensor and a Lux meter?


For instance, the Zipato Quad Multisensor manual describe the device as a Luminance meter, while Sensative describes their Strip Comfort as a Lux sensor.
