Oh! I didn't think about the input voltage.

@TwoCables some of them are 130v so they won't be as bright. Most seem to be around or a bit more than 2700 lumens.

I thought a halogen bulb would produce more light for similar amounts of power but that seems to stop once you get away from the A shape design with small capsules.

I'm seeing various lumens ratings for 150W incandescent light bulbs. Check out these results and be fascinated:

Don't worry, you can be confused if you want too. :)

@TwoCables Sweet, that's not too bad. I think a 200 watt incandescent can do 3200 lumens or more. I think 150 watt can do near 2500 or more so halogen won't be much brighter.
