Default Energy saver bulbs and lampshade "max"

HI

I've recently purchased some Osram "Energy Saver" bulbs. On the box
they have 15W = 75W by which I interpret that they use 15 watts but
give out the amount of light we associate with traditional bulbs rated
at 75 watts.

I have some lampshades which are labelled to only take bulbs up to a
maximum of 60W.

Is it okay to use the "75W" but really 15W energy saver bulbs in these
lampshades?

Thank you
