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


Go to Graingers. They have the details for each bulb:
