Thanks for the URL, it's a good comparison. If I'm not mistaken my light 
source is the same as your 17W compact fluorescent bulb. Although not as 
bright as direct sunlight on the diffuser, it does look like it's pretty 
bright compared to the other combinations.

Did you do one for steal-the-light looking out a window (but not in direct 
sunlight)?
