(A) Metering Equipment: Lighting levels will be measured in foot- candles with a direct reading, portable light meter. The meter will be read within an accuracy of plus or minus 5%. It must have been tested, calibrated, and certified by an independent commercial photometric laboratory or the manufacturer within 30 days of its use.
(B) Method Of Measurement: The meter sensor must be mounted not more than 6 inches above ground level in a horizontal position at the interior line of the buffer yard or at the property line, as required herein. Readings will be taken only after the cell has been exposed long enough to provide a constant reading. In order to eliminate the effects of moonlight and other ambient light, measurements shall be made after dark with the light source in question on, then with the same sources off. The average of the 2 readings will be compared to the maximum permitted illumination allowed under this § 159-7.800.
