You'll want more than 1 LED as in real world applications you will get overlapping output from the LEDs.

Or if you make it out to the Lower Mainland you could bring your PAR meter by once I've built my array and make some measurements.
come july, I will be going to Kamloops on weekends, so I could always stop by on a friday or sunday.
