if you are rendering with zero ambient and GI on then even

can't tell what 10 inches is in the assembly room and where exactly
the light stops. "
That brings to mind an interesting concept: A light meter plugin
object?
You just drop it in the scene and it gives you a real world light
reading in lumens (or whatever Carrara is using) from the position
where you place it...and it works with rotation and elevation
manpulators as well so you you can hone in one directional light
sources ans see what you are getting.
Just a thought...
