If you read the guides in the newbie section, If I recall right, it says the sun is around 10,000 lumens/square feet. Also the plants need at least 3,000 lumens/sqft. to survive but 6,000 - 7,000 lumens/sqft is optimal.

10,000 lumens per sq foot is the sun's brightness on a summer day.

I have heard between 7,000 & 10,000 lumens per sq feet is optimal.

3000 lumens per sq ft is minimal.
