<< Verifable presumes comparable.  The only meters I have that are up to the
task 
 are a Copal Sekonic View Spot and a Lunasix 3.  Despite the comparative 
 unsophistication of the latter, it's the one I would propose using in its 
 incident light mode - see the underside. It's fairly readily available to 
 anyone in the business - Eric can probably find one lying around - my budget

 doesn't stretch to the sort of gear he uses.

Not really sure sophistication is really at issue....  The cutoffs will be
sharp enough that measurement of light in hollows will be significant enough
that my dad's old leica meter will prolly suffice....  The numbers are
calculatable with a margin of error, conditions, voltage, wiring, aiming etc
will null the major differences.  Any significant difference can be
addressed.  If 3 independent measurements are taken, regardless of cost of
machinery involved, the results can be overlap and compared to the drawings
listed by the manufacturer.  This, actually, will be a very easy exercise,
especially if just comparing lumens....
