Wattage is a measurement of the electricity usage of a bulb. Lumens is a measurent of the total light output of a bulb. The efficiency of a bulb is calculated by comparing the light output to the energy usage. The efficiency of a bulb is similar for light bulbs of the same type, so you can expect that by switching from a 100W to a 150W regular incandescent bulb that you will get about 50% more light.

If you are lighting an object from a distance you may be able to choose a lower wattage reflector bulb with a narrow beam to save money on electricity.
