Lawn and Garden question?

I saw something on a home and garden show but I dont remember what it is called. It measures how much sun certain parts of your yard gets. You stick it in the ground and move it around to see what areas recieve the most sun throughout the day. Anyone know????

    SunCalc takes the guesswork out of locating plants where they'll get the right amount of sunlight.

    The gadget measures the accumulated light that falls on a specific spot over 12 hours. At the end of the day, an LED lights to indicate whether the site gets full sun, partial sun, partial shade or full shade — designations that are also found on plant labels.

    The device is available for about $29 to $35 from mail-order retailers Lee Valley, Burpee, Gardener's Supply Co., Whatever Works, Gardeners Edge, Taylor Gifts, Gempler's and Brookstone. It is expected to be in Smith & Hawken stores in the fall.
