now i understand how spheres work (its all in the instruments, a sphere is a sphere and if its reasonably round and has the right coating and baffles, it will work, they all vary and are calibrate-able for absolute measurements).
so im gonna build a 2 meter one (well 6 feet at least)
start with one of these:

-lay up several layers of vinyl ester fiberglass on the outside and reinforce as needed
-build flanges for it (i have a cnc now with 32x64" table so i should be able to do that in 3 sections)
-build hinges
-coat the inside with this : http://pro-lite.co.uk/File/barium_sulphate_coating.php
and ive got all the tools (li-cor par meter, ocean optics spectrometer, ocean optics tungsten calibration lamp) so i should be able to get damn close. when i can do a test and send it out to 2 other labs and get same results it will prove valid
then we can test cobs vs quantums vs arctubes vs heatsinks with different colors, etc etc
