CFL
40W CFL is the same as 200W incandescent.
30W CFL is about 120W incandescent.

Well, yes and no. It really depends on how you use it.
The PH5 is designed specifically to hang low over a table, i.e. primarily for task lighting. It does not work very well for general or ambient lighting. This means it will illuminate a specific area, such as a dining table, exceptionally well, but it will not provide enough illumination for an entire room, no matter what lamp you put in it.
If I remember correctly, Louis Poulsen recommends that the PH5 should hang somewhere in the range of 60-70 cm above a table. There are times when you want to hang a PH5 higher than that, but usually not.
I would recommend you get another type of lamp to illuminate your kitchen, and hang your PH5 somewhere else. Or, if your layout allows/dictates it, keep the PH5 where it is and add other lamps.
As for light sources, I have limited experience with Halogen and CFL lamps. I use a 100 W incandescent lamp in mine, which covers my needs most of the time. I think the ideal power source would be 150 W with a dimmer.
Good luck!

I have a PH5
over my Eames dining table, and at 150 watts, it illuminates the table, but not much else.
I am hoping for a swiggly smaller bulb (CF) that will be like a 250 watt bulb.

New lamp, I just picked up this weekend. I believe it's a Reggiani.

Those nelson lamps are unbelievably beautiful. Do keep me in mind if another one drops into your lap (he says, running in to the lamp room out of breath and late). I am here now so here are my lamps. Apologies for the terrible pics and lack of setting for most.
First the living room; A Jo Hammerborg for Fog and morup reading lamp,the base is a copper disc. a medium sized Martz at the other end of the sofa, and a Russel wright floor lamp across the room. Next is a petite Nelson wire framed accent lamp with plasticed ribbon shade that sits on my cado next to my desk. A mid 30's torchiere that I suspect may be a Rohde is in the bedroom (well, not in this pic) with a Lisa Johansen-Pape mushroom lamp on my nightstand (this one not pictured, I couldn't get a shot without showing who I have tied up in there :0 ). Over the dining table is a Nelson for Nessen bee hive pendant and in the corner is a lightolier lytespan with the vase that I still need hardware for to attach it to the pole. Lastly are three that are on their way into the mix. A 50's Stilnovo double headed floor lamp, a Thurston table lamp that I actually pulled out of a curbside pile of trash. It is in mint condition and complete with both diffusers, it just needs the shade remounted to its rings. And lastly, a nelson cylinder bubble lamp that I just got. Did I mention that I am a lamp fanatic?
