75w halogen vs 100w incandescent

16 years ago

How does the light output of a 75 watt halogen bulb compare to a 100 watt regular bulb? We are considering these sconces for our bathroom, but we were thinking we needed 2 100 watt bulbs plus an overhead can for sufficient lighting. Will the halogen work for us?

Thanks in advance,

Ali

Google Checkout turns up 75w T4 halogen bulbs rated at anywhere from 1050 to 1600 lumens. Non-halogen 100w bulbs cover a similarly wide range, so you might want to check the package on whatever bulb you're using as a gauge.
