They cannot be directly converted, one from the other. Lumens is the total amount of photons of light emitted. Candlepower is more deceptive, it is the peak brightness of the light source. As such a dim flashlight can have a high candle power if it has a very bright "hotspot".

All manufactures should list the lumens rating.
