I could be wrong, but don't lumens measure intensity and Kelvins measure color?

yeah - it's like saying converting horsepower into miles per gallon... it's not possible.

sorry, i need to study my terms.. lol, well, how intesne is 1200 lumens?

 

[FMarini]

If a light source emits one candela of luminous intensity into a solid angle of one steradian, the total luminous flux emitted into that solid angle is one lumen.

The lumen can be thought of casually as a measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted.
A standard 100 watt incandescent light bulb emits approximately 1700 lumens.

1200 lumens isn't very much. Maybe enough for some softies. Maybe.
