How can I tell how much light my plants are getting from an led

[JacFlasche]

Without spending over $500 or burning the shit out of them.
I would like to hang my led as low as possible and run it as dimmed as possible but still get good results.
Is there any way to measure light from an led that is affordable and actually reliable?
