Lumen and brightness are unconnected.
Lumens are an imaginary measure of the amount of light (equivalent to a weight of apples for instance). A lamp will be said to emit X lumens.
Lumen figures are calculated from the amount of energy at any particular wavelength and then applying a correction to allow for the sensitivity of the human eye (which is greatest in the red-orange). Different correction figures are applicable for the two different types of human sight - that in high and low level illumination - photopic and scotopic respectively. Hence any light source will have both photopic and scotopic lumen figures. Photopic would be applicable to household or office lighting, scotopic to street lighting, for instance.
Different corrections are also known for other organisms, other than man, most importantly for plants, where plant lumens are a measure of the effect of any light-source on photosynthesis.
AnswerIn simple terms, the lumen is the photometry-equivalent of the watt. In other words, it defines the rate at which a source emits 'visible light' energy (as opposed to the watt, a radiometry unit, which defines the rate at which the same source emits allradiant energy (including visible light). Lumens are NOT used to measure 'brightness', or more accurately, luminous intensity (candelas) or luminance (candelas per square metre).Note that the 'watt', described above, is used to measure the output from a light source, not its input.
Radiometry describes the measurement of electromagnetic energy across a very broad spectrum. Photometry describes the measurement of just the 'visible light' part of the electromagnetic energy spectrum, as perceived by the human eye.
As far as circuit analysis is concerned, it means that power is being supplied rather than dissipated.
yes sometimes
This is a closed system as far as components is concerned but open as far as energy transfer is concerned.
Usually (all the time as far as we're concerned.
Your Geography teacher, as far as you are concerned
It depends on the galaxy and how far you are from it
That all depends on what you are referring to as far as meaning is concerned. Please see the related link below for more.

If a star IS very bright but LOOKS fairly dim, it must be far away.
How dense it is, and how far away it is.
As far as the theatre is concerned André is a play, a tragedy, written by playwright William Dunlap in 1798.

As far as I'm concerned no!
How high it is tells you its intrinsic brightness (i.e. its brightness after allowing for distance). How far to the left it is tells you how hot it is at the surface.
