How much light does a monitor produce?

["Mark Harrison <Mark@xxxxxxx>" <Mark@xxxxxxx>]

I'm writing to you from a room only lit by the LEDs on the front of 
my server, and, more importantly, the monitor.

It's noticeable that, when the monitor's showing a predominantly 
white page, such as the UKHA_D Yahoo screens, then I can clearly read 
the keyboard by the light of the monitor.

However, when I'm at a predominantly dark page, such as the O2hoster 
webmail logon screen, I can't read the keyboard.

And before anyone comments, yes I _can_ touch-type, but I can't 
remember where things like the =A3 sign are :-o

So, to turn to the question, how much light does a monitor actually 
produce? 

Answers quoting the output of, say a 60 watt traditional light bulb 
in the same scale for comparison purposes will be given bonus 
credit :-)

Regards,

Mark
