So, if I do the math... 100,000 X 12.6 = 1,260,000.
One million, two hundred sixty thousand lumens per square meter.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

So that's what? 140,000 lumens per square foot?
Tell ya what, next time I get a break in the clouds around noon I'll see what this meter calls it.
Though translating to any spectrum other than sunlight is difficult.
Hmmmmmmm, indeed.

(Edit) Sun came out!
At 4:13 pm HST I read 65,000 Lux.
I'll get another read some future noon.
