Lighting in a real room depends far more on the reflective surfaces than on the lumens of the bulb. A 60-watt incandescent ceiling light gives enough light for ordinary living if the walls and ceilings are white ... but if the walls and ceilings are dark wood, the 60-watt bulb is useless. Might as well have no lamp at all.
