I am trying to slowly change over all of our regular light bulbs to those energy saving "spiral flourescent" bulbs. If, say, my kitchen light says I can use up to 60 watt bulbs in it, since the flourescent ones use soooo much less watts, can I go up to one that puts off the same light as a 75 or 100 watt regular bulb? I am assuming that the max bulb allowed is based on the heat that it puts off...therefore the flourescent ones (which don't get anything near as hot as a regular bulb) in a higher light output would be OK?
EX: 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts of energy
100 watt energy smart bulb uses 26 watts of energy
Any electricians out there?
Thanks if you can help!
