Mumbles Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Here is one method: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/d006415.pdf It sounds like it might be easier to measure them from a defined distance and flare size if you're just interested in formula comparison.

Short5 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) $150 for a light meter that goes to 50,000 candle power. Google high intensity light meter.... http://www.tequipmen...xtech401025.asp EDIT: It only goes to 500 FC but that company has others, just more money. Or you could just go with that link Mumbles posted, that didn't look to complicated. Edited October 31, 2012 by Short5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
