In this video I outline an experiment I'm going to run where I will try to use light level and composition to estimate solar heat gain in my office.

I outline my plan; give a description of the light sensors I'm going to use and finally show the sensors all setup on a breadboard ready to take measurements!

Weather clip is from the Channel 4 show "Father Ted"
