Hi. This might light your way http://www.onlineconversion.com/faq_10.htm
"1 candlepower is equal to about 0.981 candela."
"Candela
The standard unit for measuring the intensity of light. The candela is defined to be the luminous intensity of a light source producing single-frequency light at a frequency of 540 terahertz (THz) with a power of 1/683 watt per steradian, or 18.3988 milliwatts over a complete sphere centered at the light source."
This works out to about 54,618.5441 candela or 55,676.3956 candles.
