Very nicely put Don!
Therefore, since "photons will cross the galaxy if they are not redirected or absorbed by something" we can say that every light has tons of misleading throw but the percieved or "visable throw" is a combination of a light source with the least amount of redirection and absorption loss. A reflector that can focus more photons/water in a tighter beam will generate more visable throw. And we measure that in a standard of LUX. Can we say that LUX numbers compare visable throw for flashlights. Then LUX numbers are influenced by LUMENS if we've determined that LUX is measurement of "visable throw"

Oh, I think that hit it on the head. Nicely put CN.
