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.


*The best thing that I have found for comparing lumens, lamp life and
physical dimensions of light bulbs are the catalogs from major lamp
manufacturers such as GE, Sylvania and Philips. Electrical supply
companies sometimes have them to give out, but you can look at the web
sites.



Thanks, John. I'll take a look.
