Correct you are, but what happens to a fixture that is rated for a 100
watt incandescent bulb when you use it for something other than
lighting? Are you saying that as long as you don't develop 100 watts
of heat then the fixture will be just fine?

Yes, so long as you aren't actually drawing more than 100W.

I think perhaps his point is how the power factor can affect the current
vs watt relationship.

My point is that a light fixture rated for a 100 watt incandescent
only has to be robust enough to support the current of that same bulb.
1 amp.

Then I guess I don't see where the argument is. The other guy said it
would be ok to draw no more than 100W, which is consistent with what
you're saying.
