using flourescents to beat wattage rating of lampshade
I have a ceiling lampshade that says "40W max". But a 40W conventional bulb
is too weedy. Is it OK to put in a 20W flourescent, supposedly = 100w, based on the assumption that the 40W refers to 40W of heat from an old type bulb, with flourecents running cooler? Or are there other things I should watch out for? |
