Here is a link to one of several sources explaining how to compare lumens to candlepower.
I just bought some LED bulbs with 25 lumens and wanted to see how it compares to the 2 candlepower of my standard #55 six volt instrument bulb.
Looks like the light output will be the same, so all I gain is longer bulb life and much less power to run it.
