For sure! Of course, that's akin to how I confirmed that our first light
meter was worthless -- it failed to go off the scale [which only went to
3500 fc] on a sunny summer afternoon in Florida, when I took it outside the
shadehouse into full sun. Kenni

Eric,

In any case, there is simply no way you should be seeing 7000 fc through
an 80% shade cloth, as that would imply an unshaded intensity of 35000 fc!
