I think 1 lumen is the light given off by one candle at a distance of one foot.

so thats like 3200 candles crammed into a ball and shot in one direction.

Google is my friend...... he would like to be yours too.... jk

a light source that uniformly radiates one candela in all directions radiates a total of 4π lumens

A 23 watt compact fluorescent lamp emits roughly 1500 to 1700 lm, which is comparable to a general-service 100 W incandescent light bulb designed for use at 120 V
