One issue to consider is that readings from different light meters are only
comparable if they have the same directional characteristics. I think the i1
has a light measurement head with a cosine response, while many light meters
intended for photographic purpuses have different directional characteristics
(e.g. hemispherical), see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_meter
