Incandescent bulbs - Lumen output ?
In article ,

There is a very useful table at
http://www.nofs.navy.mil/about_NOFS/.../lumentab.html
, which
includes CFL (I assume you mean Compact Fluorescent?) The colour bands
represent the light output as referred to the visible spectrum.
The "normal" bulbs are near the bottom listed as "Incandescent
(standard)"
Bare in mind, 120V US filament lamps are more efficient than 240V
UK filament lamps, which will make the Incandescent and Tungsten
Halogen tables wrong for UK comparisons.
Also, in the fluorescent lamps sections, US T8 runs at a different
current from rest of the world which will affect the results, and
T12 High-Output doesn't exist outside the US
AFAIK
. US regular T12
and T8 have higher control gear losses on magnetic ballasts than
220-240V countries, although the table ignores control gear losses.
