The frequency and the characteristics of lunar impacting meteorites are reconsidered under the general assumption of belonging to the sporadic meteoroids. We develop the model for evaluating the luminous energy detected in the visual band during the impact. The values obtained are consistent with the luminosity of an Earth's meteor as seen at the Moon's distance, although we recover significantly smaller magnitudes for the lunar impacts with respect to other authors.
