It depends on your purpose whether or not it is economical. For some purposes, it is very good. If you are painting and want to see whether or not you need to repaint a particular area while you have your equipment there, it is extremely economical. It can save you big bucks from having to rent expensive equipment a second time. It also depends on what you are comparing the halogen bulb to for the purpose of light.
A 230 watt linear halogen lamp should be replaced by a 230 watt linear halogen lamp if the same brightness is required.
Yes, the halogen bulb would provide about 30% more brightness (lumens) for the same electric power rating. So 70 watt halogen is about equal to 90-100 watt incandescent.
No problem because the 200 watt produces less heat.

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.
A 230 watt linear halogen lamp should be replaced by a 230 watt linear halogen lamp if the same brightness is required.
Yes. It just won't be as bright.
The average lifespan of a 60 watt halogen bulb is around 2,000 to 4,000 hours.
Halogen bulbs are about 30% more efficient so a 70 watt halogen does the job.
Approximately 15 lumens per watt for halogen, so 300 lumens.

No problem because the 200 watt produces less heat.
A halogen bulb IS ITSELF a type of incandescent illumination source. A 40 Watt traditional incandescent bulb usually emits about 400 to 500 lumens while a halogen may emit close to twice that. So a 25 W halogen might give out as much light as ah older style 40 W bulb.
No, it will not be. You will need at least a 50 watt halogen for outdoor lighting.

Probably a 50 watt halogen
A halogen bulb works equally well with AC or DC.
