Is it safe to use a 23W compact fluorescent lamp bulb in a table lamp?

Yes because it uses 23 w of electric power, which puts it below the usual limit of 60 w or 100 w for table lamps. That limit is set because old-fashioned incandescent bulbs like 60 w or 100 w produce a lot of heat and there is a very slight fire risk. A 23 w CFL produces less than half the heat of an old 60 w bulb so it is quite safe. There should always be a clear path for air to circulate round any lamp.

A ballast is an electrical component used with a fluorescent bulb (or mercury vapor lamp or arc lamp) to conduct electricity at each end of the tube. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are dependent on ballast because they use a gas to create light. when the gas is excited by electricity, it emits invisible ultraviolet light that hits the white coating inside the fluorescent bulb. The coating changes the ultraviolet light into light you can see.
