I am thinking about purchasing a light meter and I would like some ideas. I am still struggling with understanding the different units. Foot candles, lux, candela. I have not found any conversion between the different units. I also want to be able to check lumen output and I was talking to a physicist that I work with and he felt it would be fairly simple to build an integrating sphere. My understanding is that it is a white on the inside ball with a light meter on the side. I have no idea how a person would calibrate it. Sometimes it is really helpful not knowing how difficult something is. What do you think? Is it possible or should I just go outside in the dark and play with my lights.
Thanks,
Alex
