This information will keep me ‘busy’ during off hours for a few days once I get the lux meter I ordered as I’ll be building my own light meter. I think a sphere light box distributes light better than a cube light box. The only problem would be finding a sphere styrofoam cooler. :~
I love to improvise and I’m looking forward to completing my very own light box soon.
If I had a LUX Meter, I’d measure all my lights. I’d measure the sun on a cloudy day, I’d measure street lights and house lamps, and fluorescents and LED’s. I’d figure out a way to convert it to Lumens to compare to the manufacturer’s claims. I’d measure the output of different battery chemistries and find out just how much more intensity I’d get from 10440’s versus AAA’s, or even 14500’s vs AA’s.
Why couldn’t we measure it (light) like they measure the heat in a hot pepper. Scoville units…basically it’s how many glasses of sugar water are required to quit tasting the heat. Initially it was done with LOTS of people. So we could just line people up at measured distances and test their perception of the light. We could use people waiting for a ride at Six Flags or something.
Can you see me now? How about now? Can you still see me? How about……
