In our kitchen we have two ceiling light fixtures with 60 watt max.
labeled on the fixture. I presume this is for the heat. I'm wondering
if in those fixtures one can use a 100 watt flourescent screw in like
the ones at Lowes and other places. Thanks.

Depends on the fixture style. Many of the CFs are to be used with open
type fixtures with shades, not one that has a cover enclosing the
bulb.




Some CFs are position sensitive,too;marked
"use in vertical position only."
