The diffuseConstant attribute represents the k<sub>d</sub> value in the Phong lighting model. In SVG, this can be any non-negative number.

It's used to determine the final RGB value of a given pixel. The brighter the lighting-color, the smaller this number should be.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

  • {{SVGElement("feDiffuseLighting")}}

Example

css
html,
body,
svg {
  height: 100%;
}
html
<svg viewBox="0 0 420 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <filter id="diffuseLighting1" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%">
    <feDiffuseLighting in="SourceGraphic" diffuseConstant="1">
      <fePointLight x="60" y="60" z="20" />
    </feDiffuseLighting>
  </filter>
  <filter id="diffuseLighting2" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%">
