Foot Candle Lux Light Meter

I am doing my first commisioning with douglas photocell sensors and I need to take ambient LUX readings to see when to trigger presets.

Does anybody have favorites that will not break the bank?

If you have a window mobile device you can download free ware called MToolBox. There is a utility that takes the light sensor for your phone (used in dimming the screen) and apply it to the app. The Reading is fairly close. I used it and compared it to our demo rig with a photo cell.
