✅ KEY FEATURES: • Drop-In Tool - Convenient measurement tool for in-game brightness • Dynamic Calibration - Automatically calibrates to your level • Two Measurement Modes - Directional or Omnidirectional • 5 Omnidirectional Readings - Takes 5 measurements for most realistic score • Normalized Measurements - Consistent readings across different areas • Post-Processing Aware - Measures after all lighting, shadows, and post-processing • Accurate Player Experience - Shows the brightness level players actually see • No Static Brightness Bounds - Works out of the box without setup

⏱️ SAVES YOU: Time implementing custom light measurement systems

🎯 PERFECT FOR: • Stealth games - Players measuring shadow darkness for hiding • Horror games - Tracking light/dark areas for gameplay mechanics • Survival games - Light level affects visibility and safety • Puzzle games - Light-based puzzle mechanics • Photography mechanics - In-game photo mode with light metering • Realistic simulations - Scientific or educational light measurement

🎮 USE CASES: • Stealth Gameplay - Let players gauge if they're hidden in darkness • Light Puzzles - Mechanics requiring specific brightness levels • Environmental Storytelling - Players discovering light patterns • Accessibility Features - Help players find well-lit areas • Photo Modes - Realistic camera exposure metering • Light Level Indicators - Show when areas are too dark/bright

🔧 HOW IT WORKS: • Instead of measuring distance from lights, it takes a snapshot after rendering • Measures actual brightness the player sees on screen • Accounts for level lighting, dynamic lighting, shadows, post-processing • Dynamically synchronizes with other Lumen Meters in your level • Choose directional (localized area by direction) or omnidirectional mode • Omnidirectional mode takes 5 measurements for realistic score
