Free light meter iphone app
For those of you out there with Iphones ( I can't live without mine apparently) theres a free App called "Light Meter". Its actually for photographers however you can set it to give you a footcandle reading by utilizing the phones camera lens. I ran into it while trying to figure out what lighting to go with for my orchidarium project. I believe it to be fairly accurate based on comparisons I made between it and my DSLR. Also, just to satisfy my own curiosity, I held it one foot away from one black candle in a pitch black black room and low and behold... 1.03 foot candles. Just thought it may be usefull to some of you curious about your light levels without access to the real deal.
