Lumens are a measure of perceived intensity by humans. It should NEVER be used for determining plant requirements. It is on the label only to meet archaic labeling standards for light bulbs. Instead you should be concerned with color temperature measured in Kelvins (6400K to 6500K) and actual Watts.

From a reputable seller they are the same.

Where did I get mine? Why, I've had it for years because it's perennial here!

Lemon and Lime basils are typically Thai cultivars and consequently less hardy in the U.S. There is a Lemon basil cultivar that is biannual in USDA zone 11.
