You could use a light meter to measure how bright the light is. That isn't
the only factor in the suitability of the lighting, but it is objective.

My 'smartphone' can give a light reading -Andriod using app 'GPS Status' in lux or foot candle. There should be others that do the same kind of thing. Uses the camera function to determine the light from the exposure. But 'we' will need guidance on how best to measure it. Possibly pointing it at the ground immediately under the light for a hi reading, and anothe midway between two lights for a low reading and take the average? Maybe a google will turn up some ideas? The phones won't be accurate but should be good enough for an indication.
