Getting the value of the light falling on a surface, for example in lux

Hi.
Can I get the value of the light falling on a surface, for example in lux, in Unreal Engine?

I can see this in HDR (Eye adaptation) mode, which I shared the image of. Is it possible to get this value in blueprint/Runtime?

Thank you.

Hi, I need to extract the same value in UE5. Have you found any ways to achieve that?

Absolute truth, no one answers to questions. Even chatgpt also not that great about unreal compared to its Unity knowledge.

The final point I came to on this issue was as follows. I couldn’t progress after that. I don’t know if it’s the right way, but I wanted to share it in case it might be useful to someone.

It is necessary to find out where the values here come from. If these are found, the formulation here can be used, but I am speaking hypothetically.
