Jim, let me rephrase the question....

"What is the intensity of the light being reflected
from the metered surface in lumens?" - I believe that
there should be a correlation - my guess is that it
should look something like: 
A*T/F^2 = K*ln(I) 
where A is the rated speed from the lightmeter (ASA)
T is the shutter speed (Time that the shutter is open)
F is the F stop - A being set on the meter, T and F
being read from the meter.
K would be some constant, and I the refelected light
intensity in linear units such as lumens.
