Can you convert lumen to candle power?
Not directly, as you are comparing apples with oranges in two senses: (a) a lumen is an SI unit, whereas a candlepower is an Imperial unit, and (b) lumens are used to measure luminous flux, whereas candlepower is used to measure luminous intensity.
Unit of radiation?
The candela (Cd) is the SI basic unit of luminous intensity, or light radiation.
What is the difference between incandescence and luminescence?
Illuminance is another word for 'luminous-flux density', which describes the intensity of the luminous flux hitting a surface. Its SI unit of measurement is the lux, which is a special name given to a lumen per square metre. Luminance is a measure of the intensity of the light reflected by a surface. Its SI unit of measurement is the candela per square metre.

What is the unit of luminious intensity?
candela--------------------------------------------The official international definition of candela (1979) is:"The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x 10e12 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian".
What instrument measures luminous intensity or flux?
