Candelas/meter square are a contact unit (luminance); an ambient sensor would have to read illuminance units instead, which would be less useful. The simple front sensor in the Spyder3 is not designed to provide detailed luminance readings. In fact, while I can certainly appreciate what you are asking for, and how it could be useful,  you are the first user who I have heard request this. I'll put it on the list...
