Testing LED intensity output?? PAR or LUX meter

I want to test what the output is on my diy LED's are but don't know what meter I need, a lux or par meter. I can get a lux meter from J&L for a lot cheaper then the par meter from Apogee.

So if there are any experts out there that can explain the difference in layman's terms so I can understand better it would be helpful.
