Light Meter

I've been wondering how much the lamp in my Optoma has been degrading over time so I decided to start keeping track of the brightness. I installed Light Meter from the google play store and am peaking at around 63404 lux.
Can anyone else verify their results? The sensor on your phone is by the ear piece. It's the one that recognizes that you are either holding the phone in front of you or have it next to your ear. I've been measuring by lightly touching my phone onto the quartz for a second. It's the only way to get accurate results since holding it 1" away will yield different results.
Here's what the app looks like (not sure about posting URLs....hope this works): LightMeter
