∙ 15y agoIt depends. A 60 watt CFL draws approximately 13 watts. So you could actually put a 125 watt CFL in as it only draws 30 watts.
However most CFLs cannot be dimmed nor are CFLs recommended in harsh environments such as refrigerators or ovens. Also because the coils of a CFL get larger in diameter adn height as the brightness increases, some fixtures may be unable to accomodate a 60 watt CFL let alone a 125.

∙ 14y agoThe new 23 watt florescent bulbs can go in 60 watt bulb applications without any problems. Where the fixture says, "Use 60 watt bulbs," the recommendation refers to a maximum. The 60 watt bulb puts out the maximum amount of heat and draws the maximum amount of current the appliance should experience. No damage would occur if the appliance received a bulb of less wattage.

No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
A 13-15 watt compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) or a 9-11 watt LED bulb is roughly equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb in terms of light output.
It is not recommended to use a 67 watt bulb in place of a 60 watt bulb as the higher wattage could potentially cause overheating issues. It is best to stick with the recommended wattage for the fixture to ensure safety and proper functionality.
A 26-watt compact fluorescent lamp typically produces around 1,700 lumens.
It is not recommended to use 75 watt fluorescent tubes in a fixture that is only rated for 60 watts. Exceeding the recommended wattage can cause overheating, potential damage to the fixture, and even pose a safety hazard. It is important to always match the wattage of the bulb to the fixture's wattage rating for safe operation.

As of 4-12-14 there is a 23 Watt screw in bulb supposedly equal to 100 Watt. It is likely there are higher watt bulbs in the flourescent screw in type available today.
Yes, the wattage is just the power consumption. A 30 watt Fluorescent will give more or less the same light as a incandescent bulb or 60 watts, which is the limit for your fixture for incandescent bulbs.
When wiring a Intertek 4003485 light fixture for a 42 watt fluorescent bulb, follow the manufacturer's instructions provided with the fixture. Typically, you will need to connect the black wire to the live/hot wire, the white wire to the neutral wire, and the green wire to the ground wire. It's important to switch off power before performing any electrical work for safety.
If the 250 watt bulb is a HID or similar type the ballast comes complete with the fixture. The bulb socket is also part of the fixture and comes pre-wired to the socket. To connect the bulb to the fixture all that has to be done is just screw it into the fixture's socket.
You can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb with a 15-watt fluorescent bulb. This is because fluorescent bulbs are typically four times more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs.
