I'd recommend this too. Makers tend to lie through their teeth when

light levels from the latest whizz bang technology.

Just a thought, maybe I will get shot down inflames, but could not a
camera light meter be used?


There are apps for mobile phones...

Have no idea as to their accuracy, reproducibility, etc.
