    If you read back through this thread I think you can soon work out that if both bulbs convert electricity to heat and light with the same efficiency the higher wattage bulb will put out more heat.

    sooner or later all energy that does into a light bulb will come out as heat......a minor persentage of that energy will radiate as visable light and be converted into heat as it strikes a surface or disapates in air.

    of course the heat output is proportional to the wattage.
