Is there any relation between degrees Kelvin, and actual illumination (Lux)?

I ask this because I am confused. Light at noon over the tropical oceans is about 150,000 lux, and 5500K (John Tullock). As you go deeper into the ocean the shorter wavelenghts get filtered out eventually leaving blue, but the Kelvin goes up. The question is this blue light of lesser intensity or not (lux again). When we get this straightened ot I will tell you where this is leading. :?

tell me about it Bob

anyways to kinda answer your question about kelven and lux, the temp of a bulb is made up of dfferent amount of various colors, the highest in Lux (or intensity being green) so the more green a bulb has in its make up the more intensity the bulbs has.. whare as the more "blue" or "red" the less intensity. that is why the Iwasaki is so high as it has a large portion of the green spectrum.
