Does a lighting fixture use watts or is it the bulb that uses watts because my fixture says 660 watts but the CFL bulb is only 23 watts?

The watts determine how much energy is taken and how much heat is produced. You need to look at the lumens to see how much light is produced. CFLs produce 4-5 times more lumens than incandescent bulbs, or 3-4 times more than halogens, for the same power in watts.
