The ratio between PAR and Lux readings, for 6500-10000K fluorescent lights is more like 76 than 60. But, if you are measuring the light from a pink bulb, the sun, incandescent bulbs, etc. the ratio can be much different. Lux meters are very useful for rough measurements to see if a light fixture/bulb is going to work well for you, but they are not useful for actual research type measurements - determining how effective an actinic bulb is compared to a 6700K bulb, for example.
