Question about LED\'s and brightness

I am wondering about combining multiple LED's. If I have one LED that puts out 8000 millicandelas of light, then another that puts out 8000, and I have them sitting together facing the same direction, shining on the same spot, is the spot going to be lit up with 16000 millicandelas? In other words, does using more LED's make the beam brighter?
