We have analyzed luminosity profiles of E galaxies in six clusters of galaxies. We have found a relationship between radius, luminosity and surface brightness for galaxies in each of the clusters. Moreover, it seems that there is a dependence of the zero point of the relation with environment. This relationship implies that there is not a universal luminosity profile for elliptical galaxies.
