I don't know, i don't know what kind of light bulb to get, there's like 57 dozen varieties and I don't want to start a fire
My dad's just like "yup that's a standard 800 lumen bulb"
(That's not my hand btw)

Get 100W equivalents and look for warm temperatures (2000k - 4000k). I personally don't like cool bulbs, as they make things look flat.
What if i like harsh white lights that illuminate details you wish you didn't even notice in things
Go full industrial florescent lighting, with ballasts that buzz louder than should be possible. 1000W for a small bedroom should fo the trick. make sure you get bulbs that are as cool as possible so you can get headaches too
Just replying here to second what hexthismess has said. I replaced a bulb with an LED labeled as "bright white" that is 3000K and it is a nice warm temperature to my eyes. It is advertised as 60W equivalent, with the LED pulling 9W. If you got a 100W equivalent bulb in 5000K, probably labeled as "daylight" or such, you'd get ice-chewing psycho levels of harsh white illumination for 17W draw.
I don't think you'd start a fire or anything because you can check the lamp or outlet and they'll say whatever it's rated for and old incandescents were a lot more power hungry. I'd definitely go for LED, the energy saving, lifespan, and less energy released as heat makes up for the cost difference. Compact fluorescent lights were a good upgrade from incandescent but with LEDs now I don't see the point.
if we change the sun to a cooler one will Earth become flat?
Yes, and please hurry. I'm tired of tripping over stuff
