One lux is equal to one lumen per square metre, where 4π lumens is the total luminous flux of a light source of one candela of luminous intensity.

The difference between the lux and the lumen is that the lux takes into account the area over which the luminous flux is spread. 1000 lumens, concentrated into an area of one square metre, lights up that square metre with an illuminance of 1000 lux. The same 1000 lumens, spread out over ten square metres, produces a dimmer illuminance of only 100 lux.

Achieving an illuminance of 500 lux might be possible in a home kitchen with a single fluorescent light fixture with an output of 12000 lumens. To light a factory floor with dozens of times the area of the kitchen would require dozens of such fixtures. Thus, lighting a larger area to the same level of lux requires a greater number of lumens.
lumens/sq ft 10.76 lumen/sq metre
lumens/sq ft 10.76391 lux (lx)

They are two different things. Lumens is the measure of illuminance of a light emitting object. Lux is the measure of the amount of light that is being projected onto a surface.

In other words, you'd say a light is emitting so much lumens of light, where as there may be x lux being shone onto a tabletop.

For instance, if you have a lightbulb that emits 1000 lumens, and concentrate all of that light on a 1m² surface, you'll observe that there is 1000 lux on that surface. If the same lightbulb is to be shone on a surface twice as large, you'll only observe 500 lux on that surface.

Lux = lumens/m²

First of all do not be dismayed by all the attacks you see here against Islam. As you can see all such messages are filled with ignorance and assumptions which are baseless. I am an American who embraced Islam and the best advice I can give is to read up on the basics of Islam first. Be sure first & foremost that this is the decision you want to make. It should not be done for anyone's sake, but rather only to please Allah swt. It is vital for you to get networking with a group of sisters in your local area who can sit with you and discuss things. Many you will find will be from overseas, but many also will be born and raised in the UK and also British converts, so they will understand your point of view best. To actually convert all you have to do is say the declaration of faith, preferably at the mosque with witnesses. Then try and attend any classes they offer. You will find it all very new, even a bit confusing in the beginning, but thats perfectly normal. Dont try to be a "super-muslim" right away. If you choose to embrace Islam, nurture your new found faith by educating yourself and inshallah (God willing) it will grow. Best of luck.
