Energy saving bulbs......150 watt wanted !

Hi,
I've tried loads of places trying to buy a couple of the equivalent energy saving bulbs to a normal 150 watt bulb as my Mum's eyesight isn't as good as it used to be and she insists on using them in her kitchen to read and sew etc.
I've offered to fit some spotlights or an anglepoise, but nothing doing.
They tell me in B&Q etc that the biggest is the 20watt, which is supposed to be eqivalent to 100watts.
Do they make any larger ones ?
And if they do, where can I get them ?
Thanks

After doing a quick Google.co.uk lots of 30W came up.

As the blurb says its equivalent to an 150W bulb.0 -
IKEA have some 150w money savers in, saw them yesterday, if you don't fancy an Internet purchase.0

Thanks for your help.
I've ordered some from ShopEco for £4.99 each with delivery charge.
Their site has some excellent stuff on there.
Brilliant thanks
