    kelvin and lumens are not directly interrelated. kelvin refers to the "colour temperature" of the light (ie white, blue, red etc) while lumen is the intensity of the light.

    you should be able to find both lumen and kelvin ratings of the bulbs on the box itself or even printed on the bulb.

    The 2 are not the same: Kelvin measure 'warmth' or colour of light. Lumens is a measure of brightness/intensity.
