Comparing low voltage lamps to line voltage lamps in terms of wattage.

I am trying to equate the 12 volt outdoor lighting systems as compared to the standard 120 volt outdoor lanterns. What wattage would you use in post lanterns if say the standard 120 volt lantern used a maximum of 60 watt bulbs? What would be the corresponding wattage for the 12 volt system?

The 1141 single contact lamp (automotive lamp) is the roughly equivalent to a 40 watt 120 volt lamp.

The 1156 single contact lamp (automotive lamp) is the roughly equivalent to a 50 watt 120 volt lamp.

The 1195 single contact lamp (automotive lamp) is the roughly equivalent to a 75 watt 120 volt lamp.
