New Light Meter,,,can this be true,,,,

[bakeaway]

I just got a light meter,,it is in Lux,,but i have a conversion table. I have a south facing window in souther California,,,i measured this moring at 10am,,,it said at the window I have almost 5,000 fc,,,and about a foot back about 3,500 fc,,,,i was amazed there was this much light,,i even have a sheer curtain up....could this be right?

I guess i will have to add more shade,,,I wanted to keep my Dends and Catts in about 3,500fc...but I will have to move my Phals and paphs to the very back,,,,
Still cannot get over how much light,,,
