Completely depends on the specific LED's used and the density (how many per metre). It's a how long is a piece of a string question (or how bright is a lightbulb if you want).

As for the power supply, get one that is rated at more than the maximum Watts/Amps of the length of LED strip you are using. Usually better to go at least 50% bigger with the power supply rather than using one that is only just big enough at maximum capacity.
