Answer:

The correct options are;

1. 1,600

2. 100 Watts

A 23-30 watt CFL provides 1,600 lumens and is equivalent to a 100 Watts incandescent bulb

Step-by-step explanation:

Brightness is measured in lumens and watts measure energy usage therefore with the use of an energy saving light bulb, the same lumination can be obtained at a lower energy usage.

According to a comparison chart for LED Lights vs. Incandescent Light Bulbs vs. Compact Fluorescents (CFLs) from USAI lightening website 23-30 watts CFL has a light output of 1,600 and is therefore produces enough light as a 100 Watts Incandescent Light Bulb

Also according to energy.gov website, CFLs save up to 75% energy such that a 23-30 watt CFL can produce the same illumination as a 100 watt incandescent bulb

Therefore we have, a 23-30 watt CFL provides 1,600 lumens and is equivalent to a 100 Watts incandescent bulb.
