No, not the Sekonic L-508.

I use a conversion guide that Livick provided in his testing info.

It's not 100% accurate, but it will get you close enough for all 
practicle purposes.

(There probable are lightmeters with LUX rates, though. I think 
Sekonic amy even make one, probably a "Cine" meter. I'm sure it will 
give "candle power" and then you can make the conversion. I'm not 
sure what the relation is between CP and LUX, if their the same or 
what. I haven't really checked, but there is a relation in some 
respect.)
