 +===== Measuring Illuminance =====
 +
 +It is not so simple as it can look, as you need sensor with proper spectral response as well as proper integration hemisphere. 
 +
 +What is the good cheap lux meter that is more or less accurate (it is considered around +-10%)
 +
 +I suggest to get this one - https://www.aliexpress.com/af/lux-meter-lx1010b.html (with large white integration cover).
 +
 +It is far from perfect, but not very bad for many lights.

 +
 +===== CRI Issues =====
 +
 +Some good CRI lights can perform poor on colors, especially red. \\
 +And light that produce pleasing accurate, but saturated colors can have low CRI.  
 +
 +CRI was made mostly for fluorescent measurements, and designed to allow companies to get good results optimizing not for overall color accuracy, but for good looking numbers.

 +===== Color Quality Scale  =====
 +
 +The CQS is fidelity metric, producing one number like Ra, but the CQS has improvements including the ability to account for the direction of object color shifts. The CQS thus agrees well with visual ratings for color-enhancing sources, while it works as an accurate fidelity metric for non-color-enhancing sources. The CQS score works to
 +represent the overall color quality of products (perceptual color fidelity) for all types of light sources. 
 +
 +{{:laboratory:img2997.jpg}}
 +
 +It uses Root Mean Square to aggregate all 15 patches results, also do not penalize chroma only difference, only color shifts.
 +
 +Usage examples, note that it is very close to CRI for fluos:
