Lumens is a measurement of light output / brightness so I would say yes

Lumen is light output. That term is used instead of the old watts terminology as it is more accurate a representation of the light from the bulb.

Foot candles is the measurement of what yore lighting. So 277 foot candles on the field, is comparable to having 277 candles burning per square foot.
