Default Anyone know anything about lux?

Borrowed a luxmeter from work to prove that one bulb/ballast is gimpy. Got new bulbs today so I tested the meter out.

Old bulb left side 12300 lux
Old bulb right side 19260 lux
Old bulb on crossbrace with lid almost closed 25300 lux

New bulb left side 13500 lux
New bulb right side 19500 lux
New bulb on crossbrace with lid almost closed 39400 lux

So what does all this mean, besides the fact that the new bulbs are sort of brighter and there is obviously something wrong with the left ballast??

Anyone??
