When you are working on a light project and want to measure the light output how do YOU do that?
In the post for T20 Help, I used Foot candles. I made my measurements at 1 ft. Does it make any difference if you use FC or Lux? FC seems to me to correlate to lumens better What meter do you use? What do you think? Thanks.

Thats what I do! It's no integrating sphere, but it is accurate in comparing one light to another :grin2:
