  1. I am confused by the Lux measurement of of 10,000-30,000. Because my light meter which measures in Lux (not footcandles) doesn’t go that high. So either there are too many zeros in your Lux # or standard camera light-meters reduce the Lux count by a factor of 100. I’d be grateful for anyone who knows what is happening here. Thank you in advance!
