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:
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/
Oh, what a happy little question! Thomas Edison invented the long-lasting light bulb in 1879. He worked hard and tried many different materials before finding the right one that would glow for a long time. Just like in painting, sometimes it takes a few tries before we create something truly wonderful.
A 100W incandescent light bulb typically produces around 1600 lumens of light.
A 150W incandescent bulb typically produces around 2600 lumens.
A 150 watt incandescent bulb typically produces around 2600 lumens.
A 150 watt incandescent bulb typically produces around 2600 lumens.
A 60-watt incandescent light bulb typically produces around 800-900 lumens. However, this can vary depending on the specific type and brand of the bulb. LED and CFL bulbs can provide the same amount of light output (lumens) as a 60-watt incandescent bulb while consuming less energy.
A 150 watt halogen bulb will give off somewhere around 2000 lumens. These lights may give off up to about 2400 lumens.
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
A typical 100 watt incandescent light bulb produces around 1600 lumens. However, newer LED bulbs can produce the same amount of light using fewer watts, so the lumens can vary depending on the type of bulb used.
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.
A 100 watt incandescent bulb typically produces around 1600 lumens of light. However, it's important to note that incandescent bulbs are being phased out in favor of more energy-efficient options like LEDs.
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.
