What is the lumen output for a 35W halogen?
It varies from about 600 to 1100 lumens. Typically the higher the lumens output, the shorter the lifespan of the globe. Have a look at this list of globes for purchase whih shows wattage and lumens: http://1000bulbs.com/category/75-watt-incandescent-standard-shape-light-bulbs/
What is the lumen output for a 50W halogen?
Halogen lamps run hotter than conventional incandescents, and as a result of their hotter filaments, emit a whiter light with more of the light in the visible range, and less in the infrared. A typical 50W halogen emits between 800 and 950 lumens.In contrast, a fluorescent lamp produces more of its output as light instead of heat. Therefore a 13W compact fluorescent light emits the same number of lumens, while an 11-13W LED lamp emits the same 800 lumens (though this is rapidly improving)

What does JC type halogen bulb refer to?
JC Type halogen light bulbs are low voltage halogen capsules with pins on the base (voltage ranges from 6 volt to 28 volts). These halogen light bulbs may be found in several applications including puck lights, under-counter lights, landscape lighting, desk lamps, display lighting, and accent lighting. JC type halogen light bulbs have either G4 or GY6.35 bases. G4 base JC type light bulbs measure 4mm between the pins, and GY6.35 base bulbs measure 6.35mm between pins. JC type halogen light bulbs are available in both clear and frosted glass. Please note that JC type halogen light bulbs should not be touched with bare skin. Halogen light bulbs utilize a semi-permeable glass with can be penetrated by oil from skin. The oil creates hot spots on the glass that reduces the bulb's life.
