Indicator lamps

I have reached a blockage!
I want to set up a level meter to record the % of levels of science packs in my buffer using a display of lights. I have 10 lights per item.
What I have done is linked all the buffer chests to an arithmetic combinator set to input any / 10% of the buffer and output any. That gives me a value of each item with a range of 0 to 9 which is what I want.
I then program my lights to light up buy item >= 0, item > 0, item >1 .... this works great.
Where I am stuck is how do i replace the explicit reference to the item so I can set the monitor to read the item from a combinator allowing me to paste the indicator and then set up the item in one place rather than having to program each light?
