To reinforce that, LUX is the measurement of actual light available at a given distance. A lux equals one lumen incident per square meter of illuminated surface area. They're measuring the same thing, ... LUX is an abbreviation for Lumens per square meter. Foot-candles equal the amount of Lumens per square feet of area.
