Quick photometrics on Cool Lights fixtures

For anyone interested, I took some quick measurements on the output from a few Cool Lights fixtures using a Spectra Cine IV-A light meter and got the following results:

Cool Lights Portable 6-lamp fluorescent fixture with daylight balanced lamps:

Without eggcrate and all 6 lamps lit:
~ 200 foot candles @ 4 ft
~ 70 foot candles @ 8 ft

With eggcrate on and all 6 lamps lit:
~ 140 foot candles @ 4 ft
~ 40 foot candles @ 8 ft

CDM-150 fixture:

Full Spot:
~ 1100 foot candles @ 4 ft
~ 200 foot candles @ 8 ft

Full flood:
~ 300 foot candles @ 4 ft
~ 90 foot candles @ 8 ft

Although these are quick measurements, I don't think the results will be drastically different if I were to do more formal testing.

Cheers,
 
Thanks for that Leo! We're deep in Chinese New Year here--something I'm sure you appreciate. Hopefully I'll recover soon.

I keep saying I'm going to add photometrics to the website and then I always get involved in another project. Hopefully I can really do that this year.
