Mr. TikiRoyale,
Intensity-Brightness, measured in footcandles (a unit of illumination on a surface that is one foot from a uniform point source of light of one candle, equal to one lumen per sq. ft.) in the United States.
A light meter used in photography would do the trick.
Also what a plant lacks in light intensity can be compensated for in duration. (Photoperiodism) the daily amount of time during which light is made available to plants; when defined as the daily relationship of light to darkness.
