Incandescents produce 10 lumens per watt, halogens about 13 lumens per watt, fluorescents and LEDs 40-50 lumens per watt. Lumens measure the brightness, watts measure the speed at which electrical energy is used.
From halogen to LED you can divide by 4 to find the equivalent. Therefore an 80 watt LED would do the job.
Compact fluorescent bulbs are widely used because they use one fifth of the electric power to provide the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb. Incandescent: 12 lumens per watt Halogen: 15 lumens per watt CFL: 50-60 lumens per watt LED: 100 lumens per watt High-pressure sodium: 200 lumens per watt
Bulb brightness is measured in lumens which express the amount of light produced, while the electric power used is measured in watts. The typical efficiency of some different types of bulb is: Incandescent 12 lumens per watt Halogen 17 lumens per watt CFL (compact fluorescent) 50-60 lumens/watt LED (light-emitting diodes) 90-100 lumens/watt.
LEDs are moderately efficient; the average commercial SSL currently outputs 32 lumens per watt (lm/W), and new technologies promise to deliver up to 80 lm/W.
The maximum lumens that a 1-watt LED flashlight can have now is 160.
1800lumens per watt
About 80 lumens per watt of electric power is normal for LEDs.
161 lumens I believe the above answer to be inaccurate. It depends on the light source. For example: For an incandescent light bulb 1 watt it is approx. 18 Lumens. However most LED's use only about 10% the wattage to produce the same amount of light. So for LED's .1 watt produces 18 Lumens.
LEDs use the smallest amount of electrical power to produce a given amount of light. Approximate data: Incandescent 12 lumens per watt Halogen: 15-17 lumens per watt CFL: 50 lumens per watt LED: 80 lumens per watt Sodium lights as used in street lighting produce 100-200 lumens per watt.
The main types are: Incandescent 10 lumens per watt Halogen 13 lumens per watt Fluorescent 40-50 lumens per watt LED 40-60 lumens per watt Lumens measures the brightness, watts measures the electric power used.
Generally lumen is a measure of the total amount visible light form a lamp or light source. LEDs are about the same as CFLs, producing about 50 lumens per watt, compared to 10 lumens for incandescent bulbs or 13 lumens for halogen.

Currently maximum LED luminous efficiency is about 114 lumens/W, measured at 50mA. Average luminous efficiency is about 104 lumens/W. Ordinary LED light effect is about 60 lumens / W. 18W is about 130 lumens is about 1080 lumens.
On average, LED lamps have an efficacy of around 80-100 lumens per watt. This means they produce 80-100 lumens of light output for every watt of electricity consumed. Advanced LED lamps can have even higher efficacy, up to 150 lumens per watt.
