A number of others have made similar comparisons. Light is measured in lumens, not watts. Comparing watts will give you absolutely no idea of the difference in light output. Even with the same technology, it is a poor measure: two sixty-watt standard light bulbs (120 watts) won't give you nearly as much light as a single 100-watt standard light bulb. When you look at different technologies, the difference is even greater (e.g., hologen or fluorescent).
