I want to use a medium base halogen light bulb where I have previously used
both a standard incandescent as well as a CFL. The size restriction of the
fixture dictates that the envelope be no larger than a 60 watt incandescent
bulb. I believe the recommended maximum wattage is also listed as 60 watts.

I need more light from this fixture. Is there a chart or "rule of thumb"
comparing the light output in lumens of regular incandescent and halogen
bulbs? I've tried using Google, but haven't found exactly what I'm looking
for.

TIA


Not really.

In general the longer the life the less efficient. halogen
lamps only add a little life to the equation.

I believe your best bet is going to be the CFL and since the
technology has not really matured yet, there is a lot of variations in
them and what was on the shelf last year has been changed by now. Good
