Lumen is the measurement of light only visiable to the human eye.

K or kelvin can be related to the colour spectrum of light suitable for growing.

6400k - vegging.
2700k - flowering.

Some builbs have a relative light intensity graph thats what you want to look at, where it peaks on the graph in the correct colour spectrum measured in either K or NM & the intensity of light at those peaks.
