The actual amount of light (lumens) given off by a bulb depends on the how the bulb was made and with what materials. It depends on the filament material, its length and thickness, and the type of gas in the bulb. As a rule, longer lasting bulbs of the same wattage will generally be less bright than others and brighter bulbs of the same wattage will not last as long as other bulbs.
Sample lumen outputs:
About 3600
the NiteRider HID Firestorm produces 500 Lumens its bulb equals that of a 40watt incandesent bulb ,but with a much brighter white color
A 150-watt light bulb uses energy at the rate of 150 watts, when it's turned on.
The wattage on a bulb measures how much electricity it uses, not its output. What you need for output is lumens. How that is related to wattage depends on what sort of bulb it is. An old fashioned incandescent tungsten bulb converts only about five percent of the energy to light, so a 40 watt bulb gives 400 lumens whereas 'energy saving' cfl ones are much more efficient so you only need 9 watts for the same brightness. Led's and halogen bulbs are different again. All types of fitting come in a range of brightnesses. It also depends on what you consider 'dim'. I'd find an incandescent 60 watt bulb in my living room far too dim, and a 40 watt one useless. Other people are happy with 60 watts.

LEDs are solid-state lights that use light-emitting diodes as the source of light. They are semiconductors that glow when electricity is applied to it. The efficancy of LED package & products depends on many factors, which range from electrical effciency to internal quantum efficiency to spectral efficiency. http://www.emotiveearth.com.au/
It took Thomas Edison 1 year to invent the light bulb. In that year, he experimented with over 1400 different fibers until he tried cotton fiber. This light bulb could last over 1500 hours, unlike the very first light bulbs that could only last 40 hours.1 yearThomas Edison failed over 1,000 times before he was successful in creating the light bulb. It took Edison three years to complete the light bulb for is successful full scale test in 1882.
This varies widely between manufacturers, whether it's a "clear" bulb or a "frosted" bulb, and what type bulb as in incandescent, florescent , quartz, etc etc
Incandescent bulbs give about 10 lumens of light per watt of electric power Halogens give about 13 lumens per watt CFLs give about 50 lumens per watt So it depends on the type of bulb.
A 1,000 watt is 15,000 lumens. A 100 watt bulb is 1,500 lumens.
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.
A 150 watt halogen bulb will give off somewhere around 2000 lumens. These lights may give off up to about 2400 lumens.
1500
The number of lumens produced by a 34 watt bulb depends on the type of bulb. As a general estimation, a standard incandescent bulb produces around 400-500 lumens per 40 watts, so a 34 watt bulb would likely produce slightly fewer lumens, around 350-450 lumens. However, different bulb technologies such as LED or CFL can produce a higher number of lumens with lower wattage.

It's about 600 lumens. The same brightness comes from a 12 Watt compact fluorescent light (CFL).
Depends on the bulbs efficiency. The ones I've gotten in the past few years are between 700-800 lumens. Check the packaging, it should state.
This depends on the type of bulb and it's efficiency. Incandescent bulbs produce 700-900 lumens at 60 watts.
About 50-60, which is 4-5 times better than incandescent bulbs.
