Default LED light meter

Connect white LED to DVM, point the LED at a light source,
and read light intensity as voltage -- pointing the LED at
the noonday sun produces 1.4 v. Very cool. Are there
any problems with this design? Is the output linear -- if
I read 0.7 v from a given light source, is that light source
one half as bright as the sun at high noon?
