Anyone use a Light Meter with LCD Display for checking the level of luminance and measure the amount of light falling on a given surface for your LED fixtures? I picked up this one for a decent price on EBAY - Dr.Meter LX1010B 100000 Light Meter with LCD Display.

If you have one, let me know what one you use?

Yes that's a lux meter. I have several. Google lux par conversion.
Apogee and Dana riddle have several articles.
