About those new energy-saving light bulbs -- I think some are called compact florescent?
Anyway, say I have a desk lamp with a small label that says that I shouldn't use more than a 60-watt bulb. A new "60-watt" florescent bulb uses only 13 watts of energy and doesn't get as hot as a
60-watt incandescent light bulb. A 100-watt florescent would only use, say, 24 watts of energy (I don't know the exact amount). So could I use a 100-watt florescent bulb in the desk lamp that's rated for no higher than a 60-watt bulb?Thanks in advance,
