To calculate how much light is falling on the location of the camera you 
could render the scene with a spherical camera and sum over the pixel 
intensities with weighting according to the pixel sizes.

To just calculate how much light enters into your current camera view do 
the same with your normal camera.

And please don't multi-post the same question into several groups.
