I'm writing a new message since the list is wackily rejecting mail.

Total light is an interesting concept, and it is not clear that it makes
sense.

One could measure an energy flavor of illuminance and thus the units
would be lux-s or lux-hours.   However, lux is a perceptual unit across
wavelength, and that raises the question as to how 1 lux for an hour
compares to 3600 lux for 1s and then total darkness the rest of the
hour.  That's  extreme, but still.

One could also integrate a radiometric measurement, taking W/m^2 and
ending up with J/m^2.  This makes clearer physical sense.

I am curious what the conceptual basis and rationale is for what Acurite
is graphing.  I'm not saying it doesn't make sense, just that it
immediately seems very tricky.
