Additional notes:
Chamber UV and visible light read values are integrated in MICAS-X control software (Labview-based platform). For the UV, this corresponds to the % of the UV lights that are on (measured as driving power since there are 2 types of UV lamps), which approximately reflects irradience output. For UV, discrete groups of lights are turned on together and are either fully on/off. At each UV light level, illuminated banks are roughly distributed evenly around the chamber enclosure walls. For the Visible lights, this corresponds to the % level that all the Vis lights are powered at, as the Vis lights are controlled by dimmers, allowing individual light banks to be operated over a continuous range from ~10% to 100%.
