One of my favorite subjects in both high school and college was physics. Horsepower, watts, joules,calories, etc are familiar terms to me. Watts always seemed to be a term more related to electrical power and horsepower related more to physical work, but now in the bike world it seems that everyone is measuring biking output with watts.
Today when on the artificial bike in the gym I toggled the readout to show watts. It would seem that I am comfortable with a 135 watt output. I was able to maintain that today for an hour very easily and could likely maintain that effort all day. It amounted to level 7 with a 95 cadence. My heart rate held about 120 bpm. (resting heart rate is ~50 this time of year)
Since it seems that I'm stuck on the artificial bike for awhile I will try to determine what my maximum wattage is. That's when we'll be able to quantify just exactly how dim this bulb is!
