In layman's terms lumens are the total output of light whereas candela is the "reach" of the light. They are not dependent on each other and most high candela lights are actually lower lumens. A high candela light will generally throw off a narrow but far reaching beam whereas a high lumen light will generally throw a very side beam of light.
