We are having trouble getting light reflectance values from the manufacturer for a number of finishes. Has anybody tried using some sort of light meter to get the value yourself?

Hi Erin,
In our project, we choose to use the Surface Reflectance Color Chart instead of measuring it.
So, we get the lighting reflectance value based on the RAL code for the finishes or work surfaces. You can refer to Lighting Guide 11 Surface Reflectance and Colour from CIBSE or search the online reference that match with your RAL code.
Thanks and regards.
