Thus, to preserve the psychological sense of the text (and to render it understandable within the framework of the receiving cultures), translators were entitled not only to make radical changes to the literal meaning of the original text, but also to its reference - Umberto Eco, Experiences in Translations.

punto de iluminación ponderada


Explanation:
Se refiere a alguna forma de cálculo establecida en esa norma para ponderar los resultados de mediciones, al combinarlos, cuando no es correcto simplemente promediarlos. Sin leer la norma no sé decir si las mediciones de iluminación se ponderan teniendo en cuenta el ángulo, distancia, o qué otro factor.

Es una forma común de darle más peso a determinada parte de las mediciones respecto a otras.

Por ese motivo el término más común en areas técnicas es "promedio pesado" o "promedio ponderado" (es lo mismo).

La traducción para todo material técnico de "weighted" es "ponderado/a". Una referencia: https://www.linguee.com/english-spanish/search?source=auto&q...

La técnica de uso de ponderaciones está explicada aqui:
