Revit MEP will only give you the illuminance based upon what light fixures are in the room (also default is foot-candles but can be changed to candle watts in the project units (shortcut=UN)), it does not take any external lighting projections into account like radiance does, for example. Best bet is to model it in Revit and export to IES, Ecotect,  Dialux, etc...
