No, lumens do not indicate how much power a bulb uses; they measure the amount of visible light emitted by the bulb. Power consumption is measured in watts. A bulb can produce a high number of lumens while using relatively low watts, especially with energy-efficient technologies like LED lighting. Therefore, to assess energy efficiency, it's important to consider both lumens and watts.
