We talk about scale speed, scale time, scale dimensions and scale weight. Has anyone thought of scale light? Does light scale down? The intensity of light is measured in Lux (lx). A sunny day with a clear blue sky has around 100,000 lx around noon; at sunset, this value goes down to about 50 lx. Now, on our layouts, do we divide this by the scale we model in? Or the square of that value, as the intensity of light can also be expressed by light radiation per sq.ft.? In any case, if we scale down light, we won´t have to worry about too much detail on our layouts - we will hardly see any [(-D]
