Thanks!

I tried 20w, but the bulbs were expensive, a little small in the fixture,
and didn't last very long. It would also be nice to have the option to turn
them up when we'd like the extra light.

How about 25 watt "T10" ("refrigerator/showcase") ones?

At full power, a "Big 3" name brand one of those produces close to 230
lumens with life expectancy of 500 or 1,000 hours, brighter than a 25 watt
A19 designed to last 2500 hours though dimmer thjan a 40 watt one.

At 10 watts, a 25 watt 120V tubular produces about 25-30 lumens of
light, brighter than a 4-watt but a bit dimmer than a 7-watt incandescent
120V nightlight bulb. A 40 watt A19 to produce that amount of light
requires about 15-16 watts.
