There's a range of products in each category and incandescent lumen output degrades more quickly than halogens due to typically short lamp life. Try this for a start. "14-17.5 lumens per watt for standard "A19" 120 volt 60 to 100 watt incandescents, and typically 16 to 21 for most halogen lamps." Conceivably, you could get 210 lumen output in a 10w halogen and as much as 1050 lumens out of a 60w incandescent. MR16's list beam power, rather than lumens because they are so focussed and directional.
NO 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.
16 AWG is plenty large enough for a 50 or 100 watt lamp.
Different technologies produce different amounts of light - measured in lumens - for a given amount of electric power - measured in watts. Incandescent: 12 lumens per watt Halogen: 16 lumens per watt CFLs: 50-60 lumens per watt LEDs: 100-120 lumens per watt
In a floor lamp or table lamp a #16 wire is what you need.
For comparable lumens you pay less for energy efficient bulbs. For example, a typical 75 watt incandescent bulb provides about 850 lumens. The same light from an LED bulb would only consume about 12 watts. So even though the LED costs more to buy, it costs only about 16% of the cost of a comparable incandescent to operate.
Light is a little complicated because various devices for producing it have various efficiencies. Light is measured in lumens. Older incandescent lamps produce 10-15 lumens per watt of electrical power. Halogen lamps produce maybe 20 lumens per watt and lasted much longer. Several years ago the best LEDs were also 20 lumens per watt. Now the best white LEDs are 5 to 10 times better than incandescent lamps, and they last for a decade or more. Expect almost all lamps to be LEDs in the next few years.

A 60 watt lamp will poduce 60 watts during the time it is operating. If it runs for an hour, it produces 60 watt-hours of heat energy. If it runs for 16 2/3 hours, it produces 1000 watts during that period, or it can be said to use a kilowatt of energy in that 16 2/3 hours, or that it produced a kilowatt-hour of heat in that 16 2/3 hours. Heat can be expressed in watts, but we can't really convert watts into "heat in Celsius" as was asked. The heat energy generated by the lamp will heat air or the area directly around it, but by how much? This becomes a difficult problem. And we don't measure the heat produced by a lamp in degrees Celsius, but in watts or a similar measure of energy. While it is true that temperature is a measure of thermal energy, it can't be fairly applied here. A lamp produces watts of heat energy, but not "degrees" of heat energy. The investigator would have to specify a goodly number of things to determine the change of temperature (in degrees Celsius) resulting from the operation of a 60 watt lamp. It becomes a problem in thermodynamics.
Most lamp wire is parallel #16 conductors.

Running a power of 60 watts for one hour uses 60 watt-hours of energy. If you run it for two hours, that would be 120 watt-hours. Running a 60 watt appliance for 16 hours and 20 minutes is 1000 watt-hours, or 1 kWh, also called one Unit.
