Halogen lamps run hotter than conventional incandescents, and as a result of their hotter filaments, emit a whiter light with more of the light in the visible range, and less in the infrared. A typical 50W halogen emits between 800 and 950 lumens.
In contrast, a fluorescent lamp produces more of its output as light instead of heat. Therefore a 13W compact fluorescent light emits the same number of lumens, while an 11-13W LED lamp emits the same 800 lumens (though this is rapidly improving)

From the OSRAM website come the following specs for 12v halogen dichoric bulbs -
20 watt - 60 degree beam angle - 350 lumens
35 watt - 60 degree beam angle - 700 lumens
50 watt - 60 degree beam angle - 1100 lumens
It varies from about 600 to 1100 lumens. Typically the higher the lumens output, the shorter the lifespan of the globe. Have a look at this list of globes for purchase whih shows wattage and lumens: http://1000bulbs.com/category/75-watt-incandescent-standard-shape-light-bulbs/
A halogen bulb works equally well with AC or DC.

Tungsten filament Quartz glass (needed because they are much hotter than ordinary bulds) halogen gas to fill build (chlorine, fluorine, etc) or Xenon in newer types still caused halogen but they aren't really. bright white light because filament can get hotter in halogen atmosphere than normal filament (also tungsten) can in normal bulb atmosphere (normally nitrogen)
