what the lumen coun means is simply the amount of light the LED emits. some colors are dimmer than others however, because of their wavelength. (the lightwaves visible to the human eye.)
Some LED's are more efficient than others, giving more Lumens at lower ma. I generally don't use Lux III's any more becase Rebels and the p4's are more efficent. what LED you use all depends on your unique building situation. Voltage, current, soundboard, etc.
In reality, you are never going to drive a LED at the perfect setting, and your eye isn't going to be able to tell the difference between a few Lumens...
Since you are focused on Blue... here are the available LED's and their Lumen out put...
Here is a spreadsheet I made up with all the available LED's...
Got a Question? There's a thread for that...

What is the 'ma' after the lumen range?
EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you did, there. You put the lumens at what 'recommended' current output is given.
I use a Blue Rebel and I love how bright it is for being a blue blade.

I did a full comparison test last year in December when the Rebel Star Singles came out between a blue low-bin Rebel Star and a Seoul P4. Results were posted here:

for red, you would most likely be better off with a P4. I have a red rebel here, but no extra heatsinks to mount it to for testing.
