Default using energy-saving bulbs to get more light

Hi all,

If I have a fixture that is intended to be used with 3 60W bulbs, but
I want to get more lumens out of it, can I use 3 23W (100W equivalent)
energy-saving bulbs? Is this only limited by the wattage?


Basically yes.


(the fixture is not fully-enclosed and is not controlled by a dimmer)

If I wanted to use a dimmer, could I just use analogous dimmable
bulbs?


Yes.



Thanks,
Arkadiy
