Lumens = Total Flux
Candela = Intensity
If a light source emits one candela of luminous intensity into a solid angle of one steradian, the total luminous flux emitted into that solid angle is one lumen. Alternatively, an isotropic one-candela light source emits a total luminous flux of exactly 4Ï lumens. The lumen can be thought of casually as a measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted.

The following quantities and units are used to measure the quantity or "brightness" of light.
SI photometry units:
..................................
Luminous energy/ Qv/ lumen second/ lm·s /units are sometimes called Talbots
Luminous flux /F /lumen (= cd·sr) /lm /also called luminous power
Luminous intensity /Iv /candela (= lm/sr) /cd /an SI base unit
Luminance/ Lv/ candela per square metre/ cd/m2/ units are sometimes called nits
Illuminance /Ev lux (= lm/m2)/ lx Used for light incident on a surface
Luminous emittance /Mv lux (= lm/m2) /lx/ Used for light emitted from a surface
Luminous efficacy / lumen per watt/ lm/W/ ratio of luminous flux to radiant flux; maximum possible is 683.002 .

What property of light are you measuring?
lufen is correct about measuring intensity.
Color is determined by frequency which is inversely related to wavelength.
A single 'particle' of light is called a photon.
Do any of these answer your question?

The light bulb. Light travels 185 or 186,000 miles per secound. I'm not sure which one out of the two it was.

One day, or about 12 hours, depending on where you live.
