disagree  pclews: Fluidity (and tensile strength and Youngs Modulus) of metals (such a aluminium) or of other materials has nothing to do with light. Your second link has references to "luminal blood flow", which is flow through the "lumen", or "cavity", of a blood vessel.

  -> I didn't say it did, in my actual suggestion. I used the references to try and understand the concept. After all, I only put a "2" ../The idea is to help the asker, and let them use their discretion.

light (energy) flow


Explanation:
Most of the refs I looked at used 'energy flow', light being a form of energy.

luminous flux


Explanation:
There's not enough context to be sure. The correct translation may be "light fluence", as Dolores Vazquez suggests (35,000 google hits), but liminous flux is another possibility (nearly 400,000 google hits). See links.
